About this map

The town of Parsons anchors the southeastern corner of this Decatur County landscape, where the local transportation network transitions from the street grids of the town center to a web of rural roads. Following the corridor to the west, small settlements and named hollows like Beacon, Beacon Junction, and Flowers Hollow sit along the primary route toward Darden. The northern reaches of the quadrangle are characterized by a network of creek branches, including Sulphur Fork Cub Cr and King Creek, which carve through the terrain near New Safford and Bible Hill.

Aviation infrastructure is represented by the Beech River Regional Airport, situated centrally among family-named landmarks and historical crossroads such as Hickory Forks and Five Forks. The map also details numerous small water bodies and springs, such as Dogwood Lake and the Sulphur Spring near Hayes Branch, which likely influenced the early placement of homes and farmsteads throughout this portion of Tennessee.
