2016 Map of Milan

About this map

Milan and the neighboring town of Gibson anchor this portion of West Tennessee, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of the Obion and Forked Deer river systems. The town of Milan sits as a regional crossroads, while smaller hamlets like Cades, Union Central, and New Enterprise are scattered throughout the agricultural hinterland. The terrain transitions into the Caraway Hills, providing topographical relief between the drainage of the North Fork Forked Deer River and the Rutherford Fork Obion River to the north. Notable local landmarks like the Gibson County Airport and Moores Chapel stand alongside numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Martin Cem and Walnut Grove Cem. The map reveals a dense network of rural roads connecting isolated settlements like Concord and Hughes Loop, illustrating the enduring spatial patterns of this farming and transit-oriented corridor.
