About this map

The Obion River dominates this West Tennessee landscape, carving a wide floodplain through the borderlands of Obion Co and Dyer Co. The river's meandering history is etched into the terrain through a series of oxbow features, including Old River Lake, Goose Lake, and Horseshoe Lake. These bottomlands contrast sharply with the more elevated agricultural settlements that ring the swampy interior.

In the southern reaches, Newbern serves as a primary hub, while smaller communities like Lane, Maxey, and Cloverdale are connected by a dense network of rural roads. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and resting places, such as Zion Cem, Bailey Cem, and Wright Cem. The interplay of water and land is further defined by smaller tributaries like Aldridge Cr and Town Cr, which drain into the central river system at Maple Bend.
