About this map

The Pinson Mounds State Archaeological Area stands as a primary landmark in this West Tennessee landscape, situated along the South Fork Forked Deer River. The 1961 data, updated with 1983 revisions, illustrates the established community of Henderson, featuring Freed-Hardeman College and the County Training Sch. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural infrastructure of family-named cemeteries and community churches, including Montezuma Cem, Rogers Cem, and Antioch Ch.

Logistics and transport are defined by the Gulf Mobile and Ohio railroad corridor and local thoroughfares like Old Henderson Road and Montezuma Road. To the southwest, the dense woodlands of the Chickasaw State Forest transition into the farming terrain drained by Turkey Creek and Sugar Creek. This survey provides a clear view of Chester County before modern suburban expansion, preserving the locations of smaller settlements such as Montezuma and Pinson.
