2010 Map of Newbern

About this map

Newbern serves as the primary hub of this Dyer County landscape, where the town's grid is oriented by the diagonal path of the railway. The map reveals an exceptionally dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Poplar Cemetery, Hurricane Hill Cemetery, and the Dyer County Cemetery, which offer significant value for genealogical research in western Tennessee. The terrain is defined by a network of small waterways including Jones Creek, Lewis Creek, and RoEllen Creek, all flowing toward the North Fork Forked Deer River in the southwest corner. Landmarks like the Newbern Post Office and Pillow Lake Dam anchor the local geography, while the rural road system is marked by descriptive local names like Hogwallow Rd and Slaughter Pen Rd, reflecting the area's agricultural and social heritage.
