2022 Map of Newbern

About this map

Dyersburg and Newbern anchor this survey of western Tennessee, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the North Fork Forked Deer River and its numerous tributaries. The map documents a territory transitioning from the urban centers of Dyer County into a patchwork of rural homesteads and agricultural plots. This rural character is reflected in the high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Hurricane Hill Cem, Reynolds Cem, and Gauldin Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in the region.
