2016 Map of Gift

About this map

The Hatchie River meanders along the northern border of this Tipton County landscape, creating a complex wetland environment marked by Hogpen Slough and Cotton Lake. This 2016 survey captures the transition from the eastern edge of Covington to the rural agricultural communities of Gift, Antioch, and Tabernacle. The interior terrain is drained by several waterways, including Richland Cr and Flat Cr, which define the topography between established family-named roads. For those tracing local history or family roots, several burial sites are documented across the quadrangle, such as Tipton Cem, Sharps Cem, and Marrows Cem. The infrastructure of the area is further characterized by the Covington Municipal Airport and the engineered Little Beaver Cr Canal, illustrating the modern management of this low-lying riverine region.
