About this map

The North Fork Forked Deer River and its accompanying wetlands dominate this Henderson County landscape, defining the rural geography between the local hubs of Luray and Huron. This 2010 survey records a high density of ancestral burial grounds, including the Mifflin Cemetery, Unity Cemetery, and Mills-Darden Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in the region.

Infrastructure is characterized by small-scale water management and a network of named country roads such as Tignor Store Rd and Truett School House Rd, hinting at former community centers. Significant landmarks include the Luray Post Office and the Huron Post Office, alongside engineered features like the Robert Williams Dam on Cypress Creek. The transition from the river bottom to higher ground is traced by a grid of family-named lanes, providing a clear view of the settlement patterns in western Tennessee.
