About this map

The Forked Deer River and its south fork wind through this West Tennessee landscape, defining the transition from the Dyersburg outskirts to the rural communities of southern Dyer County and northern Lauderdale County. Small settlements and historic crossroads like Double Bridges, Poplar Grove, and Nankipoo are scattered throughout the agricultural lowlands. The map reveals a dense network of family-named landmarks and rural burial sites, including Butterworth Cem, King Cem, and Rutherford Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this region.

Industrial and transportation infrastructure is centered around the Dyersburg Regional Airport and the town of Halls to the south. Distinctive terrain features such as Yellow Bluff and Porter Gap provide geographic context to the alluvial plains. This survey documents the modern layout of local roads like Key Corner Rd and Old Hwy 20, tracing the connectivity of long-established communities like Unionville and Fowlkes at the end of the second decade of the 2000s.
