About this map

Paris serves as the central hub of this West Tennessee landscape, characterized by a high density of burial grounds and a complex network of waterways. The town's urban core is anchored by the Paris Post Office and bordered by significant local sites including Paris City Cemetery and Maplewood Cemetery. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of the Middle Fork Obion River and Town Creek, with several artificial impoundments like Smith Lake and Green Acres Lake providing localized water management.

Genealogists will find an exceptional concentration of family and community burial sites scattered across the countryside, from the Birds Creek Cemetery in the northwest to the Hicks Cemetery in the southeast. Industrial and infrastructure developments are evident at the Henry County Hospital Airport and the State Hwy 218 Byp, which circles the eastern edge of the city. Smaller drainage features like Threemile Branch and Twomile Branch feed into the larger creek systems, illustrating the local topography that has shaped the growth of this county seat.
