2019 Map of Newbern

About this map

Dyersburg serves as a primary hub in the West Tennessee lowlands, where the North Fork Forked Deer River winds through the southern reaches of this survey. The landscape transitions from the urbanized street grids of Dyersburg and Newbern to a rural network of small agricultural communities like Roellen, Rehoboth, and Good Hope. The distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Hurricane Hill Cem, Church Grove Cem, and Reynolds Cem, provides a detailed record of local settlement patterns and genealogy. Drainage features like Parker Ditch and Pond Creek illustrate the historical efforts to manage the wetlands surrounding Bishops Lake and Pillow Lake. The alignment of Jones Cr and Light Cr dictates the local topography, shaping the roads and farm boundaries that have defined Dyer County for generations.
