About this map

McKenzie serves as a prominent anchor in the southeastern corner of this West Tennessee landscape, where the borders of Weakley, Henry, and Carroll counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of small streams and branches, including Tumbling Creek, Spring Creek, and Caledonia Creek, which feed into the Middle Fork Obion Lake. This map reveals a high concentration of burial grounds, such as Everett Chapel Cem and Smyth Cem, which often represent the early hubs of rural communities.

The settlement of Gleason is clearly mapped in the northwest, situated along a series of intersecting roads like Old State Hwy 22. Smaller locales like Tumbling are identified primarily by their proximity to local landmarks such as Tumbling Creek Cem and Butler Cem. The rural road system, from Bynum Road to Reeds Levee Road, illustrates the historical development of these farming communities and provides a reliable guide for researchers tracing family homesteads and old church locations.
