2019 Map of Miston

About this map

Ridgely anchors the northwest corner of this West Tennessee landscape, where the flat, fertile bottomlands of the Mississippi River floodplain meet the rising bluffs of the east. The course of the Obion River dominates the southern half of the map, carving through wetlands and low-lying woods as it flows toward its eventual confluence with the Mississippi. This area is defined by a dense network of country roads named for local families and landmarks, such as Horn Ridge Rd and Chandlers Mill Rd, reflecting a long history of agricultural settlement. Small communities like Bogota, Miston, and Broadmoor are scattered across the plain, while Millsfield sits tucked against the base of the loess hills. Local history is preserved in sites like Horn Ridge Cem and Bledsoe Cem, while distinctive topographic features like Inman Hollow and Booger Den Hollow provide a sharp contrast to the level fields along the Running Reelfoot Bayou.
