About this map

The Obion River meanders through this West Tennessee landscape, defining the boundary between Obion Co and Dyer Co. The river valley is marked by its abandoned channels and oxbows, preserved as Horseshoe Lake, Round Lake, and Old River Lake. Settlement patterns in the early 1950s follow the higher ground above the floodplain, where small rural communities like Cloverdale and Maxey serve as anchors for local life. This period shows a well-distributed network of country institutions, including Cloverdale School and Glendale School. Local genealogy is deeply rooted in the numerous rural congregations such as Zion Church and Emmaus Church, which often stand alongside family-named sites like Zion Cemetery and Banks Cemetery. The persistence of river crossings is noted at Sharps Ferry, a lingering connection to the region's historic transportation routes before modern infrastructure fully bypassed the wetlands.
