2016 Map of Newbern

About this map

The city of Dyersburg and the town of Newbern anchor this survey of the West Tennessee landscape, where the flatlands are carved by a network of drainage canals and small creeks. The terrain is marked by numerous family and community burial grounds, including Hurricane Hill Cem and Church Grove Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted settlement patterns of the region. Local hydrology is defined by the winding paths of Lewis Cr and Jones Cr, alongside man-made improvements like Parker Ditch. Small communities such as Good Hope, Roellen, and Rock Springs are scattered throughout the agricultural landscape, connected by a dense grid of rural roads. The southern portion of the map features several localized water bodies, including Bishops Lake and Pillow Lake, situated near the small settlements of Bishop and Viar.
