2013 Map of Oakland

About this map

Oakland and the surrounding Fayette County countryside are defined by a network of small lakes and slow-moving waterways. The landscape transition from agricultural tracts to residential expansion is evident near Hickory Withe and the Big Bell Estates development. Significant drainage and water management features, such as the Cypress Creek Canal, run alongside natural streams like Alexander Cr and Black Ankle Cr. The area is notably dotted with private and recreational water bodies including Herb Parsons Lake, Salmon Lake, and Fore Lake, each with its own associated dam. Local aviation is represented by the Pegasus Field Airport, situated centrally between the primary settlements. This rural-suburban character is further punctuated by small community nodes like Canadaville, reflecting the long-standing settlement patterns of West Tennessee before more modern subdivisions began to fill the spaces between the county roads.
