About this map

Middleton serves as the primary hub in this corner of Hardeman County, featuring the Middleton Post Office and a network of roads extending into a landscape defined by an extensive system of water management. The drainage patterns of Porters Creek and its many tributaries, such as Thompson Creek and Stewart Branch, have been significantly altered by numerous dams. These structures have created a series of numbered reservoirs, including Porters Creek Lake Number Six and Porters Creek Watershed Number Sixteen Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds across the terrain, from Sandy Springs Cemetery in the northeast to Old Bethlehem Cemetery and Ramah Cemetery further west. Elevation shifts are notable at Porters Mountain, while the southern reaches of the quadrangle are marked by the winding courses of Cypress Creek and Colonel Fork. The presence of Rogers Spring Lake and Woodrun Lake Number One further illustrates the era's focus on residential or recreational water developments.
