1952 Map of Fowlkes

About this map

The Forked Deer River meanders across this West Tennessee landscape, defining the boundary between Dyer Co and Lauderdale Co. This 1950s survey, updated with late 20th-century cultural features, reveals a region deeply rooted in agricultural and ecclesiastical life. Small communities and rural crossroads such as Fowlkes, Double Bridges, and Nankippo anchor the map, while numerous country houses of worship including Mt Zion Ch, Williams Chapel, and Antioch Ch dot the rolling terrain.
