About this map

Greenfield and Sharon serve as the primary hubs in this West Tennessee landscape, anchored by a network of drainage ditches and river forks. The agricultural character of the region is shaped by the Middle Fork Obion River and the South Fork Obion River, which are supplemented by engineered waterways like Lipscomb Ditch and Buckor Ditch. These systems suggest a history of managing the low-lying bottomlands for cultivation.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites marking the family histories of Weakley County. Significant locations include Highland Cem and Rose Hill Cem near the Greenfield town center, as well as more isolated rural plots such as Old Hall Cem, Patterson Cem, and Hornbeak Cem. The terrain rises toward the northeast at Mount Herman, providing a distinct landmark overlooking the surrounding plains and the waters of Spring Cr.
