About this map

The boundary between Gibson Co and Madison Co bisects a landscape defined by small agricultural settlements and the branching headwaters of the Forked Deer River system. Medina serves as a central hub, flanked by smaller named locales like Goat City, Fairview, and Three Way. The area is notably dense with family-named cemeteries such as White Rose Cem, Centerville Cem, and Mariah Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this part of West Tennessee.

Drainage patterns are heavily shaped by the N Fork Forked Deer River and the Middle Fork Forked Deer River, which weave through the lowlands between Gibson and Humboldt. This modern survey also documents the presence of the Humboldt Municipal Airport and a network of rural roads that follow old property lines and natural contours, including the descriptive Old Turkey Creek Rd and Mount Zion Gravel Rd.
