About this map

The city of Humboldt serves as the central hub of this West Tennessee landscape, situated where the borders of Gibson, Crockett, and Madison counties converge. The terrain is defined by the wandering course of the Middle Fork Forked Deer River, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Sugar Cr, Beech Cr, and Duffy Br. This drainage network created a fertile environment for the scattered settlements and agricultural holdings that define the region's history.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the rural areas, such as Motley Cem, Raines Cem, and Moore Cem. The map reveals the infrastructure of the mid-2010s, from the Humboldt Municipal Airport on the eastern edge to the residential pockets of Avondale and Antioch. Smaller communities like Gadsden and Mason Grove anchored by family-named cemeteries and landmarks like Dukes Lake provide a clear view of the area's developed footprint alongside its natural watercourses.
