About this map

The Middle Fork Forked Deer River winds through this West Tennessee landscape, anchoring the city of Humboldt as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map reveals a dense network of family-named cemeteries that speak to the deep genealogical roots of Gibson and Madison counties, including Motley Cemetery, Bradford Cemetery, and Newhouse Cemetery. To the west, the settlement of Gadsden marks the edge of the survey, while various water features like Humboldt Lake and Jones Farm Lake dot the rural areas surrounding the urban center.

Local landmarks such as the Humboldt Post Office and the Humboldt Scout Camp reflect the community's civic life. The terrain is defined by its agricultural and drainage systems, evidenced by features like Warren Ditch and numerous branches including Barnett Branch and Duffy Branch. Researchers can trace the rural road network, from Gadsden-Todd Levee Rd to Cypress Tree Rd, which connects the scattered farmsteads and historic burial grounds throughout the quadrangle.
