About this map

Palmersville serves as the central hub of this northern Tennessee landscape, situated where several local roads converge near the Palmersville Cem. The terrain is defined by the broad, low-lying drainage of the North Fork Obion River and its numerous tributaries, including Hurricane Cr and Cane Creek. These waterways create a complex system of bottomlands, most notably Bumpas Bottom, which shaped the agricultural and settlement patterns of the region.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of family and community burial sites scattered across the countryside. From the North Union Chapel Cem and Zion Hill Cem to more secluded locations like Blooming Grove Cem and Lemon Springs Cem, the map meticulously documents the resting places of the area's early residents. The boundary between Weakley Co and Henry Co runs along the eastern edge, marking a historical administrative divide in this rural farming community.
