About this map

Kenton serves as the primary municipal hub in this West Tennessee landscape, where the local road network connects a series of smaller, distinct rural communities. The map documents the layout of settlements such as Mason Hall, Fairview, and Stringtown, revealing a pattern of development closely tied to family-named roads and agrarian land divisions. This 2013 survey illustrates the local dependence on the drainage systems of the Rutherford Fork Obion River and its various tributaries, including Grass Cr and Edmundson Cr.

Religious and social life is anchored by landmarks such as Christian Chapel, while the presence of locations like Tyson Store and Tilghman reflects the persistent identity of crossroads hamlets. The terrain is marked by numerous small water bodies and named features like Possum Pond, highlighting the hydrology that has shaped the area's agricultural history. This map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure as it stood in the early 21st century.
