2016 Map of Pocahontas

About this map

Pocahontas stands as a focal point in this portion of Hardeman County, where the Hatchie River and Tuscumbia River define the local drainage patterns. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of creek systems including Muddy Creek, Dry Cypress Creek, and Mosses Creek. This survey records a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, such as Bethel Cem, Kirk Cem, and Mathis Cem, which are invaluable for genealogical research in this rural Tennessee corridor. The terrain includes notable features like The Mound near the riverbanks and the crossroads at Essary Springs. Industrial and agricultural infrastructure is evident through the inclusion of the Muddy Creek Ditch and local transit routes like Coal Shute Rd and Block Church Rd, providing a clear view of the area's modern rural composition while preserving the locations of historical settlements like Lacy and Middleton.
