About this map

The Illinois Central and Gulf Mobile and Ohio railroads converge at Rives, forming a vital transportation hub in the fertile landscape of Obion County. This mid-century portrait captures a rural economy defined by complex water management, most notably the Obion River Drainage Canal and the Rutherford Creek Drainage Canal, which were engineered to handle the meandering courses of the North Fork Obion River and the South Fork Obion River.
