About this map

Osage and New Boston anchor the upper reaches of this West Tennessee landscape, where the drainage of Walnut Fork Cr and Old Town Cr shapes the rural layout. The map documents a heavily managed aquatic environment along the Middle Fork Obion River, defined by a series of numbered reservoirs including Middle Fork Obion River Lake Number Two and Middle Fork Obion Lake Five. These water control projects, such as Flood Water Retarding Dam Number One, illustrate the 21st-century infrastructure designed to regulate the river's flow through the low-lying Ward Bottom.

Smaller community centers like Midway, Palestine, and Hearndale are connected by a network of descriptive local roads, including Seldom Seen Ln and Iron Banks Rd. In the northeast corner, the Henry County Airport stands as a modern landmark amidst the traditional agricultural settlements. This survey captures a specific moment in Henry County history, reflecting the balance between established rural hamlets and the extensive water management systems of the Obion River basin.
