2019 Map of Gardner

About this map

The Obion River and its various tributaries, including Cane Cr and Mud Creek, define the rural landscape of this portion of Weakley and Obion Counties. The settlement of Mount Pelia serves as a central point in a region characterized by family-named cemeteries and a dense network of country roads. These roads often bear the names of local families and landmarks, such as Stanley Chapel Church Rd and N Red McCorkle Rd, reflecting a long history of land ownership and community ties. To the northeast, the settlement of Gardner sits near the headwaters of Little Cypress Cr. The presence of numerous burial grounds, including the Shaddtown Cem, Hurt Cem, and McKinney Cem, provides a significant resource for genealogical research. The northern boundary is marked by the Everett-Stewart Regional Airport, while the south features the expansive Cypress Creek Bottom.
