About this map

Pinson Indian Mounds and the prominent Great Central Mound anchor the northern landscape near the border of Madison and Chester counties. This area, dominated by the hydrology of the South Fork Forked Deer River, serves as a critical historical and archaeological focal point. Further south, the city of Henderson serves as a regional hub, featuring the campus of Freed-Hardeman Univ and the neighborhood of Sanford Hill.

The rural character of the surrounding West Tennessee countryside is defined by small settlements like Pinson and Montezuma, connected by a network of local routes such as Old Montezuma Rd. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the terrain, including Hearn Chapel Cem, Pisgah Cem, and the Chester County Memorial Garden. Waterways like Turkey Cr and Bear Cr snake through the landscape, illustrating the traditional drainage patterns that have long influenced local agriculture and settlement.
