About this map

The North Fork Obion River meanders through the southern portion of this landscape, marking the boundary between Obion and Weakley counties. This rural corridor is defined by small, historically rooted settlements such as Harris, Pierce Station, and Shofner, which are linked by a network of country roads including Chapel Hill Rd and Mc Connell Rd. The distribution of family-named burial grounds across the farmland—including the Morris Slave Cem, Murphey Cem, and Johnson Grove Cem—points to generations of agricultural settlement and complex social histories in the region north of Union City.

In the southwestern corner, the Everett-Stewart Regional Airport stands as a modern focal point amidst the traditional land-use patterns. The terrain transitions from the river bottomlands to the slightly higher ground near White Lake and the northern reaches toward South Fulton. The numerous cemeteries and minor drainages like Harris Fork Cr and Deer Cr provide significant data points for genealogists tracing family ties across the Obion County countryside.
