2010 Map of Rutherford

About this map

Rutherford serves as the primary population center in this Western Tennessee landscape, anchored by the Rutherford Post Office and Rutherford Cemetery. The area is defined by the complex drainage of the Obion River system, where the Obion River, Middle Fork Obion River, and South Fork Obion River converge into a network of wetlands and meandering channels. This 2010 survey illustrates the persistence of rural heritage through numerous family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds, including Connell Cemetery to the northeast and Macedonia Cemetery near Macedonia Rd. The road network, featuring names like Walnut Grove Church Rd and Kimery Levee Rd, follows the high ground between tributaries such as Edmundson Creek and Lick Creek, reflecting a land use pattern dictated by the floodplains of the river forks.
