About this map

The town of Parsons serves as the primary hub of this area, situated alongside the landing strip at Scott Field. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways including Sulphur Fork Cub Creek and Johnson Creek, which feed into various man-made reservoirs like Dogwood Lake, regulated by the Dogwood Dam. The terrain is marked by family-named hollows such as Flowers Hollow and Duke Hollow, alongside numerous small cemeteries that reflect the deep-rooted local genealogy of the region.

Several smaller landmarks provide evidence of early rural services, most notably the Darden Post Office located near Colwick Branch. The infrastructure consists of a dense grid of rural roads, including W Natchez Trace Rd and Darden Christian Chapel Rd, which connect scattered homesteads and burial sites like the Eubanks Cemetery and Mount Ararat Cemetery. This 2010 survey records the persisting rural character of the land before modern development further altered the drainage patterns established by the Refish Number One Dam and its sister structures.
