About this map

The South Fork Forked Deer River dominates this West Tennessee landscape, carving a wide, wetland-rich path across the boundary between Crockett and Haywood counties. Distinctive landforms such as Island Number Ten, Island Number Eleven, and Island Number Twelve appear within the river's course, surrounded by a network of tributaries including Sandy Slough, Kail Cr, and Nixon Cr. The settlement pattern is characterized by small, distributed communities like Owl City, Belle Eagle, and Jones, which are connected by a grid of rural roads often named for local families.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites documented throughout the area. These include the Zion United Methodist Church Cem near Rudolph, the Wortham Chapel Cem north of the river, and other family or community plots such as Tabernacle Cem, Taylor Cem, and Cobb Cem. This documentation provides a clear view of the historical social fabric in a region defined by its agricultural character and river-bottom geography.
