2010 Map of Fort Pillow

About this map

The meandering Hatchie River and its labyrinth of oxbows and tributaries like Mathis Creek define the landscape of this West Tennessee quadrangle. Near the Mississippi River bluffs, the Fort Pillow State Farm occupies a historic site overlooking the bottomlands. The map reveals a high concentration of country burial grounds, including the Lightfoot Cemetery and Pilgrims Rest Cemetery, which anchor the rural community around the settlement of Pleasant Hill. The topography is dominated by the floodplains of Cane Creek and Cold Creek, featuring water management structures such as the Cane Creek Number Twenty-two Dam. In the south, Millstone Mountain rises as a distinct landmark above the junction of several local creeks, while Bee Lake and Sunk Lake reflect the unique geomorphology of this river-adjacent region.
