About this map

The Loosahatchie River Canal dominates this West Tennessee landscape, cutting through the low-lying Loosahatchie Bottom as part of a significant regional drainage network. This 2016 survey illustrates how the land is defined by these engineered waterways, including the Little Cypress Cr Canal and Laurel Cr Canal, which drain the surrounding wetlands to support agricultural use.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named sites across the rural terrain, from Maclein Quarter in the north to the small settlement of Griffen in the south. Numerous small burial grounds are preserved in the landscape, such as Patterson Cem, Mason Cem, and Williamson Cem. The settlement at Lambert and the area near Moorman sit amidst a complex of named bottoms and hollows, including Green Hollow and Treadville Bottom, reflecting the long history of family homesteads in this corner of Fayette County.
