About this map

Cloverdale and Lane sit at the heart of this West Tennessee landscape, where the wide floodplains of the Obion River dictate the local geography. The river's meandering course is marked by oxbow remnants and wetlands, including Old River Lake, Goose Lake, and Horseshoe Lake. These water bodies and the surrounding bottomlands, like Maple Bend, illustrate the shifting nature of the waterway before it reaches the county line between Obion and Dyer.

To the south, the terrain rises into the rolling uplands near Newbern and Maxey, where the settlement pattern shifts from river-focused to a dense network of rural roads. Genealogists will find several small burial grounds across these hills, such as Meacham Cem, Bailey Cem, and Zion Cem. The map documents a classic agrarian layout, with local landmarks like Locust Grove and numerous family-named routes such as Bud Phillips Rd and Sharps Ferry Rd providing a detailed look at the area's contemporary land use.
