About this map

The Hatchie River meanders across the southern portion of this landscape, its complex oxbows and wetlands creating a distinctive riverine environment near Round Lake and Millstone Mountain. This area of West Tennessee is defined by its small, scattered agricultural communities, including Cherry, Glimp, and Lightfoot, which are connected by a network of local roads such as Sunk Lake Rd and Lightfoot Luckett Rd.

In the western reaches, the Fort Pillow State Farm and the settlement of Fort Pillow mark a site of significant regional importance. The terrain is dotted with numerous water bodies, from the larger Sunk Lake and Bee Lake to the engineered Cane Creek Number Twenty-two Lake. These features, combined with the presence of named drainages like Cane Cr and Cold Cr, illustrate a low-lying geography where water management and rural settlement patterns have evolved together over decades.
