About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide snakes through this West Tennessee landscape, separating the headwaters of numerous creeks that define the local topography. At the southern edge of the sheet, the community of Enville serves as a local hub, flanked by the Enville Ch and Woodlawn Cem. The 1950s terrain is marked by significant hydrological modifications, most notably the Middleton Drainage Canal Creek and White Oak Drainage Canal Creek, which suggest a concerted effort to manage the low-lying bottoms for agriculture.

Upland features such as Sand Mtn and Pleasant Hill rise above the drainage basins, while the rural character of the era is preserved through scattered landmarks like Bailey Chapel and the Roby Sch in the settlement of Roby. Genealogists will find a high density of family-named burial grounds, including Jones Cem, Stewart Cem, and the Moss Cem, providing a detailed look at the local settlement patterns before late-20th-century development.
