About this map

The confluence of the Obion River and the Forked Deer River dominates this landscape along the border of Dyer and Lauderdale counties. This riverine environment is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Rush Slough, Bostic Slough, and Rock Slough, which weave around Moss Island. The movement of these waters over time is evident in the Old Bed Forked Deer River, illustrating a dynamic alluvial plain where oxbow lakes like Forked Lake, Hushpucket Lake, and Brackens Lake are prominent features.

Small settlements such as Stinger and Tiger Tail are situated near the riverbanks, connected by a network of rural routes including Tiger Tail Rd and Pioneer Farm Rd. To the southeast, the terrain shifts toward Porter Gap, where Knob Cr flows near the Knob Creek community. Here, the Henning Grove Missionary Baptist Church Cem serves as a significant local landmark for genealogical research and historical study of the area's rural church life.
