About this map

The Mississippi River creates a dynamic western boundary for Tennessee in this early 1960s survey, where the river's shifting path is marked by historic interventions like the Needham Cutoff (1821). This landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring the confluence of the Obion River and the Forked Deer River amidst a network of oxbows and backwaters such as Chisholm Lake and Open Lake. These waterways shaped the local economy and settlement patterns, leaving behind numerous islands like Tomato Island No 25 and Island No 21.
