2010 Map of Pocahontas

About this map

The Hatchie River and Tuscumbia River converge in this corner of Hardeman County, defining a landscape of complex bottomlands and winding tributaries. Small family and community burying grounds are scattered throughout the territory, providing a clear record of local settlement patterns through sites like Bethel Cemetery, Essary Springs Cemetery, and Eureka Cemetery. The area around Pocahontas Lake is marked by the Pocahontas Dam and Kirk Cemetery, while the intriguing label The Mound suggests an ancient human presence near the banks of the Hatchie River. Numerous local roads, such as Coal Shute Rd and Block Church Rd, hint at the historic industrial and social hubs that once anchored this rural Tennessee community at the turn of the 21st century.
