About this map

The Hatchie River and its expansive Hatchie Bottom dominate the northern landscape of this region, where the river's winding path has created numerous oxbows like Horseshoe Lake and the Horseshoe Cutoff. This wetland environment gives way to a network of small agricultural settlements and rural communities concentrated in the center and south, including Hillville, Cedar Chapel, and Eurekaton.

Genealogists will find this 2016 survey particularly valuable for its precise documentation of family-named burial grounds and rural landmarks. The map records several cemeteries that represent the area's ancestral heritage, such as Harmony Cem, Old Cauley Cem, and New Cauley Cem. A complex system of tributary creeks, including Bear Creek, Richland Cr, and Pinner Cr, defines the local topography and historical drainage patterns that shaped the development of these small West Tennessee townships.
