About this map

Ridgely and Bogota serve as the primary hubs in this western Tennessee landscape, where the flat, agricultural plains of the Mississippi River basin meet the rising bluffs to the east. The Obion River snakes through the southern portion of the quadrangle, while Running Reelfoot Bayou defines much of the northern drainage. This 2016 survey illustrates a meticulously organized rural infrastructure, with roads like Sycamore Corner Loop and Pattenson Rd partitioning the fertile lowlands.

Genealogists will find value in the documentation of several family-linked landmarks and burial sites, including Horn Ridge Cem near the Lake County line and Bledsoe Cem situated near the river. The transition from the alluvial plain into the higher elevations is marked by distinctive local names such as Booger Den Hollow and Inman Hollow, while the presence of the Rolling Acres Reservoir and Millsfield in the southeast corner indicates a shift in both terrain and land use compared to the river-bottom settlements of Miston and Broadmoor.
