About this map

Somerville stands at the southwestern corner of this Fayette County survey, where the Loosahatchie River Canal and Armour Cr define the lowland drainage. The landscape is characterized by a network of modified waterways, including the Big Muddy Canal which cuts through the Big Muddy Bottom, reflecting long-term efforts to manage the local watershed for agriculture. Smaller settlements like the uniquely named Yum Yum and the rural crossroads of Laconia and Liberty Hill are connected by a web of local roads such as Old Brownsville Rd and Old Jackson Rd.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family and community history preserved in the numerous rural burial grounds, such as Taylors Chapel Cem, Miller Cem, and Spring Hill Cem. Notable landmarks include Pontotoc Hill and the Wells Land Company Lake, while water bodies like Marsh Lake and Duncan Lake dot the terrain, illustrating the rural character of this West Tennessee region as it appeared in the late 2010s.
