About this map

The confluence of the Obion River and the Forked Deer River dominates this West Tennessee landscape, where the meandering waterways define the border between Dyer and Lauderdale Counties. The region is a dense network of hydrologic features including Moss Island, Rush Slough, and Bostic Slough, alongside numerous oxbow lakes such as Rhodes Lake, Forked Lake, and Hushpucket Lake. These natural formations indicate a historically active floodplain that has shaped local land use and boundaries.

Small settlements and family-named landmarks are scattered throughout the bottomlands and rising bluffs. The community of Stinger sits near the river bend, while Tiger Tail and Knob Creek occupy the southern reaches. Local infrastructure is characterized by a high density of named agricultural and access roads, including Pioneer Farm Rd, Miss Kelly Loop, and Dee Webb Rd, which provide access to the fertile lands surrounding Dunham Lake and the Old Bed Forked Deer River.
