1961 Map of Hales Point

About this map

The Mississippi River and its labyrinthine tributaries dominate this West Tennessee landscape, where the confluence of the Obion River and Forked Deer River creates a complex network of sloughs and cut-offs. The map documents significant hydrological engineering, including the Needham Cut-off and the Old Bed Forked Deer River, which contrast with natural features like Blue Grass Towhead and Moss Island. Inland from the riverbanks, the cultural landscape of Lauderdale County is marked by small settlements such as Chic, Edith, and Tiger Tail. Genealogists will find a high density of rural institutions, including Hickman Chapel, St Marys Ch, and combined sites like Henning Grove Ch & Sch. These landmarks, along with scattered cemeteries such as Pleasant Grove Cem, provide a clear picture of mid-century community life in the Mississippi Delta.
