About this map

The Jackson municipal area dominates the northern portion of this survey, where the commercial and academic life of the city is anchored by institutions like Lambuth University and Union University. The city’s southern expansion follows the complex hydrology of the South Fork Forked Deer River and its various tributaries, such as Bond Creek and Jones Creek. This landscape is particularly notable for its concentration of significant local heritage sites, including the large Hollywood Cemetery and Riverside Cemetery near the city center, as well as the Bemis Cemetery further south, reflecting the historical growth patterns of Madison County.

Industrial and transport infrastructure is represented by the Frogmoor Yards and Mitchell Airport, while the southern reaches of the quadrangle transition into a more rural character. Here, small-scale water management is evident at Meridian Creek Lake One and Meridian Creek Lake Two. The terrain is marked by distinct rises such as Norton Hill and the presence of the Tennessee Sheriffs Youthtown Lake, suggesting a mix of public institutions and natural drainage basins that have shaped the region's development into the 21st century.
