2010 Map of Palmer Shelter

About this map

Huntingdon and its southern agricultural hinterland define this Carroll County landscape, where the headwaters of numerous creeks begin their descent toward the West Tennessee lowlands. The rural character of the area is underscored by its network of named family cemeteries, including Liberty All Cemetery and Antioch Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research. Ernest Vickers Lake and its associated dam lie just north of the Huntingdon Airport, providing a distinct landmark in a region primarily shaped by the meandering paths of Brier Creek, Reedy Creek, and Beaver Creek. The terrain transitions from higher points like Slip Top and Marshall Hill into a complex system of branches and runs that historically dictated the placement of early settlements and road networks such as Old Stage Rd.
