About this map

Family name cemeteries and small-scale water management define this portion of Henry County in the early 21st century. The landscape is characterized by a high density of burial grounds, such as Tyler-Compton Cemetery, New Boston Cemetery, and Oak Hill Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research. These sites are scattered across a terrain shaped by the Middle Fork Obion River and its various tributaries, including Walnut Fork Creek and Old Town Creek.

The hydrography of the region is notably controlled by a series of engineered structures, including Flood Water Retarding Dam Number One and a sequence of numbered dams and reservoirs along the river, such as Middle Fork Obion River Lake Number Two and Middle Fork Obion Lake Five. Near the northeastern corner, the Henry County Airport stands as a modern infrastructure point, while rural life remains centered around long-standing landmarks like Barrs Chapel Cemetery and the lowlands of Ward Bottom.
