2019 Map of Palmer Shelter

About this map

Huntingdon Airport serves as a northern anchor for this Carroll County landscape, which transitions from the infrastructure of Huntingdon into a complex network of creeks and ridges. The topography is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide, where the waters of Brier Cr and Reedy Cr carve through the terrain near Marshall Hill and Dollar Hill. Small, dispersed settlements like Tate, Leach, and Clarksburg are connected by the historic Broadway of America, reflecting an era of mid-century transit alongside older agricultural roads. Family history is well-represented through numerous burial sites, including Liberty Hill Cem, Antioch Cem, and Sellers Cem, which are scattered throughout the hills. The presence of Ernest Vickers Lake and the eponymous Palmer Shelter further distinguish this rural corridor south of the Obion River headwaters.
