USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
The Rutherford Fork Obion River snakes diagonally across this Gibson County landscape, defining a terrain of bottomlands and low hills centered on the town of Rutherford and the nearby community of Dyer. This mid-century survey reveals a rural society organized around crossroads churches and family-named cemeteries. Features like the Beech Grove Ch Cem and Bucksnort Cem offer specific locations for genealogical research, while the Illinois Central Gulf railroad line provided the vital industrial artery for the region's agricultural economy.
