About this map

The Obion River dominates this Dyer County landscape, carving a winding path through the bottomlands south of Cloverdale. The river's historical shifts have left behind a series of oxbow features, including Old River Lake, Goose Lake, and Horseshoe Lake, which define the local drainage patterns along with Maple Bend. Small agricultural crossroads like Lane and Locust Grove anchor the upland areas, connected by a network of rural roads that often follow property lines and natural topography.

Local transport history is evidenced by the prominence of Sharps Ferry and Lanes Ferry Rd, marking historic crossing points on the river. The southern portion of the map identifies the settlements of Meacham and Maxey, where the terrain transitions toward Light Cr. This record of the early 21st century captures the rural character of West Tennessee, where family-named routes like Phillips Rd and Dozier Rd suggest deep-rooted land ownership in this river-bottom territory.
