About this map

The South Fork Forked Deer River and its companion, the North Fork Forked Deer River, define the hydrology of this Madison County landscape south of the city center. Downtown Jackson serves as a dense municipal anchor, featuring the Madison County Courthouse and the J Alexander Leech Criminal Justice Complex - Courts Building near the University of Memphis at Lambuth. To the south, the landscape transitions from urban grid to the undulating terrain around Norton Hill.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the region, including Hollywood Cem, Riverside Cem, and the Saint Pauls Missionary Baptist Church Cem. Outlying settlements like Malesus, East Union, and Roy are connected by a network of local roads and creek systems, such as Sandy Cr and Bond Creek, illustrating the long-standing agricultural and residential patterns of West Tennessee.
