2019 Map of Kenton

About this map

Kenton and Rutherford anchor this West Tennessee landscape along the Obion and Gibson County line. The terrain is defined by the drainage network of the Rutherford Fork Obion River and its various tributaries like Grass Cr and Edmundson Cr, which carve through the agricultural uplands. Settlement patterns here remain centered around rural crossroads and established family landmarks, including several rural burial grounds such as Sunny Side Cem and North Union Cem. The survey highlights the endurance of small communities like Mason Hall, Tilhman, and Tyson Store, connected by a network of local routes including the Old Turnpike Rd. These features illustrate the persistent rural character of the region, where land use is dictated by the proximity to water sources like Bamboo Cr and the larger river system to the east.
