About this map

The Hatchie River winds through the northern portion of this Tipton County landscape, defining a terrain of oxbow lakes and bottomlands including Shingle Lake, Little Champion Lake, and Champion Lake. This western Tennessee region is characterized by small, established communities such as Gilt Edge, Garland, and Burlison, which are connected by a network of rural roads that often follow the natural contours of the land. The agricultural and residential character of the era is evident in the presence of the Giltedge Gin Rd and the Garland Post Office.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial sites like Smyrna Cemetery, Dickens Cemetery, Austin Cemetery, and Ravenscroft Cemetery. The landscape is further shaped by drainage infrastructure like the Indian Creek Canal and the Hurricane Creek system, while private landmarks such as Mrs Ardell Blankenship Lake and the Rose of Sharon Campground provide specific points of local interest.
