About this map

Troy and Obion anchor this West Tennessee landscape, where the flatlands of the Obion River valley meet the dissected uplands of the north. The area is defined by its deep agricultural roots and a network of rural roads such as Yellow Hammer Rd and Rick Rack Rd that connect dozens of family cemeteries and small communities. The Obion River floodplain dominates the southern edge, crossed by the Adkison Memorial Bridge as it flows near Richland Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of burial sites across the township, including Rose Hill Cem, Beech Grove Cem, and Terrace Hill Cem. These landmarks, along with smaller locales like Englewood and Wolverine, reflect the enduring settlement patterns of Obion County. The transition from the dense creek bottoms of Rogers Cr to the established town centers shows the long-term influence of the river system on local development.
