About this map

Shiloh National Battlefield occupies the northeastern corner of this landscape, marking a site of immense significance at the Tennessee border. The terrain is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide, where the headwaters of numerous creeks including Lick Creek and Owl Creek begin their descent. Small communities such as Michie, Acton, and Pebble Hill are scattered across the quadrangle, connected by a dense network of rural roads like the Miche-Pebble Hill Road and Taylor Road.

Genealogical interest is particularly high in this region due to the exceptional number of family and community burial grounds. From the Chambers Family Cemetery and Wardlow Cemetery to the Acton Community Cemetery, these sites provide a physical record of the families who settled this corner of McNairy County. The hydrological management of the land is also visible through the Lick Creek Canal, reflecting historical efforts to control the drainage of the bottomlands.
