About this map

Tennessee and Mississippi meet along the northern boundary of this survey, where the settlement of Piperton sits adjacent to the rural landscape of Marshall and Fayette counties. The map captures a region defined by its small farming communities and numerous family and community burial grounds, such as New Shannon Cem and Mount Pleasant Cem. In the center of the sheet, the crossroads of Taska provides a focal point for the surrounding farms and wooded tracts.

Water plays a central role in the topography here, with the Coldwater River and Little Coldwater Creek carving through the terrain. These waterways are flanked by distinctive landscape features like Wildcat Bottom Cove and Lee Creek Cove, which illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the area. Toward the north, Rossville and Cayce anchor the more settled portions of the landscape, while numerous rural roads connect the dispersed homesteads and churches of these border counties.
