About this map

Rives serves as the primary hub in this West Tennessee landscape, where the confluence of regional roads and the winding Cypress Cr define the local geography. The map reveals a pattern of rural settlements and agricultural estates north of the Obion River, including McCutchen Heights, Pleasant Hill, and Moffatt. These communities are connected by a network of family-named routes such as Ed Moffatt Rd and K Harper Rd, suggesting deep generational ties to the land.

The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the complex hydrology of the Obion River basin. The main channel meets the Rutherford Fork Obion River amidst a series of oxbow features and wetlands, including Horseshoe Lake, Long Lake, and Big Lake. This riverine environment contrasts with the organized road grids near Crockett and Polk, illustrating how the waterway has historically dictated the limits of local development and land use in Obion County.
