2019 Map of Gift

About this map

The Hatchie River forms a complex, meandering northern boundary between Lauderdale and Tipton counties, defining a landscape of wetlands and sloughs such as Hogpen Slough. This region of West Tennessee is characterized by small, dispersed rural communities and family landmarks that reflect generations of local settlement. Smaller hamlets like Gift, Tabernacle, Solo, and Antioch are connected by a network of local roads including Antioch Highway 51 Rd and Rialto Rd. The presence of several family or community burial sites, including Marrows Cem, Tipton Cem, Sharps Cem, and Cotton Cem, offers significant research value for genealogists tracking local lineages. On the western edge, the outskirts of Covington and the Covington Municipal Airport mark the transition toward more concentrated development, while the interior remains dominated by the drainage systems of Richland Cr and Flat Cr.
