About this map

Obion and Troy anchor this western Tennessee landscape, where the flatlands meet the winding corridor of the Obion River. The geography is defined by a dense network of country roads named for local families and early settlers, including Hank Miller Rd and JB Stricklin Rd. These routes connect a remarkable number of small burial grounds, such as New Campground Cem and Old Campground Cem, which suggest a long-established rural community pattern.

To the north, the terrain rises toward Mount Moriah, providing a contrast to the southern bottomlands of Richland Creek. The map details the transition from the concentrated street grids of Englewood and Obion to the sprawling agricultural tracts beyond. For those researching the social history of Obion County, the placement of sites like Beech Grove Cem and Terrace Hill Cem alongside modern infrastructure provides a clear view of how these settlements have persisted through the early 21st century.
