About this map

The boundary between Graves and Hickman counties runs through this landscape of the Jackson Purchase region in the early 1950s. The Illinois Central railroad bisects the terrain, connecting the small community of Dublin with nearby Baltimore. The lowlands are defined by the winding course of Obion Creek and the significant wetland area of Murphy Pond, showing the complex drainage system of McClane Creek and Brush Creek before they reach the Mississippi valley.

A network of country roads links family-named sites and rural institutions, providing a detailed look for genealogists. Researchers can find several local landmarks such as McClure Chapel, Salem Ch, and Holifield Ch. Rural cemeteries including Mason Cem, Willis Cem, and Pryor Cem are clearly marked, alongside small settlements like Fulgham and Watts, which served as local hubs for the surrounding farming community during this era.
