The town of Kenton and the surrounding agricultural lands of Rutherford and Gibson County are documented here as they appeared in 2010. The landscape is defined by the Rutherford Fork Obion River on the eastern edge and several smaller waterways like Grass Creek and Edmundson Creek that drain the local fields. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Salem Cemetery, Hollomon Cemetery, and the North Union Cemetery near the community of Fairview. The transport network shows a high density of rural routes named for local families, such as Larry Finch Rd, Brentz Moore Rd, and Roger Newman Rd, suggesting deep generational ties to the land. The presence of the Kenton Post Office and Sunny Side Cemetery further anchor this West Tennessee community's layout at the start of the 21st century.
