About this map

The North Fork Obion River meanders across the southern landscape of this Tennessee quadrangle, defining a broad floodplain that separates the northern uplands from the scattered settlements to the south. In the northwest, the edge of South Fulton marks a point of urban transition, while the surrounding countryside is characterized by a dense network of family-named roads and burial grounds. For genealogists, the map is a remarkable record of legacy, featuring numerous small plots such as Mount Moriah Cemetery, Obion Chapel Cemetery, and the Camp Ground Cemetery.

Water management is central to the local geography, seen in the northern reach where Harold Muzzall Dam holds back the waters of Harold Muzzall Lake. Tributaries like Sandy Branch and Vowell Branch cut through the terrain, flanked by generational landmarks including the Mitchell Cemetery and Rucker Cemetery. The settlement pattern follows a grid of local routes like Phillips Rd and Ralston Rd, connecting these quiet rural corners with the larger regional flow of the river valley.
