2010 Map of Stanton

About this map

Stanton serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in West Tennessee, where the town's grid meets the branching paths of the Big Muddy Creek and Little Muddy Creek systems. The map reveals a dense distribution of family and community burial grounds, essential for genealogical research in Haywood County. These sites, including Collier Cemeteries, Cole Cemetery, and Scrub Oak Cemetery, are scattered across the terrain alongside landmarks like Meux Hill and Fortescue Hill. A network of named rural roads, such as Greenleaf Cemetery Rd and Keeling Rd, connects these sites, reflecting a long-standing settlement pattern defined by small-scale farming and the seasonal flow of East Beaver Creek. The integration of local lane names like Rena Anderson Rd and Maclin Riley Rd provides specific geographic markers for tracing ancestral landholdings and community boundaries.
