About this map

Mason Hall and Kenton anchor this rural West Tennessee landscape, where the county line between Obion and Gibson counties divides a patchwork of family farms and creek bottoms. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Rutherford Fork Obion River in the northeast and a network of smaller drainages like Grass Cr and Edmundson Cr. Small historic hubs such as Stringtown, Fairview, and Tyson Store reflect the area's agricultural heritage and the importance of localized commerce before the modernization of travel.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites, including Bethphage Cem, Union Grove Cem, and North Union Cem, which serve as physical markers of early community centers. The road network preserves historic routes like Old Turnpike Rd and numerous family-named thoroughfares such as Larry Finch Rd and Brentz Moore Rd, illustrating how early land ownership shaped the modern infrastructure of this river valley region.
