2010 Map of Gardner

About this map

Gardner Cemetery and the surrounding rural landscapes of Weakley County are meticulously detailed in this recent survey, highlighting a region defined by its small cemeteries and persistent watercourses. The drainage patterns of Cane Creek, Mud Creek, and Cypress Creek dictate the layout of the land, leading down to the Obion River in the south. The prevalence of family and community burial sites, including the Mount Pelia Cemetery, Shadtown Cemetery, and Callicott Cemetery, offers a valuable resource for genealogists tracing local lineages. The settlement of Central serves as a waypoint among a network of rural routes like Old Troy Rd and Stanley Chapel Church Rd. The low-lying Cypress Creek Bottom underscores the agricultural and hydrologic character of this West Tennessee territory, where the road system still follows the gentle topography of the creek valleys.
