2016 Map of Rives

About this map

The North Fork Obion River and the Rutherford Fork Obion River converge in this western Tennessee landscape, creating an intricate network of wetlands and oxbow lakes. Small settlements including Rives, Troy, and Moffatt serve as the primary nodes for a rural road system that follows the high ground between the river bottoms. The topography is defined by the broad, marshy basins of the Obion River system, where features like Horseshoe Lake, Long Lake, and Big Lake indicate the shifting course of the water over time.
