About this map

Troy and Obion anchor this western Tennessee landscape, where the transport corridor of U.S. Highway 51 and the Obion River define the local geography. The map reveals a dense network of family-named roads like Muse Rd, Rick Rack Rd, and Sleepy Callis Rd, which weave together small farming communities and historic sites. A striking number of burial grounds, including Bethlehem Cemetery, Mount Moriah Cemetery, and Rose Hill Cemetery, are scattered throughout the quadrangle, serving as vital landmarks for genealogical research and local history.

Hydrological features like Running Slough and Richland Creek cut through the terrain, while the Adkison Memorial Bridge provides a key crossing near the southern boundary. To the north, the small settlement of Englewood sits near the headwaters of local drainages. The distribution of sites like the Camp Ground Cemetery suggests long-standing community gathering points that have persisted as the region's agricultural and transit patterns evolved.
