About this map

The Palmersville community serves as the central hub of this rural Weakley County landscape, situated near the headwaters of the North Fork Obion River. This environment is defined by its agricultural character and the extensive wetlands of Bumpas Bottom and the surrounding river flats. The mapping details an intricate network of country roads, several of which follow flood-control structures like Donoho Levee Rd and Powell Levee Rd, indicating the historical significance of water management in this bottomland region.

Genealogists and local historians will find an exceptional density of family-named landmarks, including the Palmersville Cemetery and Palmer Cemetery, alongside numerous small burial grounds such as Lemon Springs Cemetery and Zion Hill Cemetery. Religious and social centers like North Union Chapel and the site of Old Bethel anchor the scattered homesteads. The topography is further shaped by tributaries including Hurricane Creek, Cane Creek, and Webb Branch.
