About this map

The Obion River meanders across the center of this landscape, defining the boundary between Obion Co and Dyer Co. This river corridor is characterized by numerous oxbow features and backwaters, including Round Lake, Old River Lake, and Goose Lake, which highlight the shifting hydrology of the bottomlands. Along the southern edge of the survey, the city of Newbern serves as a major regional hub, contrasted by the smaller, dispersed rural settlements of Lane, Maxey, and Meacham.

For local history and genealogy, several family-linked landmarks and rural institutions are preserved. Small burial grounds like Zion Cem, Bailey Cem, and Wright Cem are scattered throughout the agricultural uplands. The road network connects established communities such as Cloverdale and Locust Grove, while terrain features like Maple Bend show how the winding river dictated the layout of early farms and transport routes in this part of Northwest Tennessee.
