About this map

Stanton anchors this West Tennessee landscape where the borders of Haywood, Tipton, and Fayette counties converge. The terrain is defined by the significant bottomlands of the Hatchie Bottom to the north and Cypress Bottom to the south, linked by the winding course of Little Muddy Cr. These wetlands are historically significant as natural barriers that shaped the early settlement patterns and transportation routes of the region.

Smaller community centers like Keeling and Belmont are documented alongside numerous family and church burial sites, including Chote Cem and the Collier Cemeteries. The infrastructure reveals a legacy of land management through features like the Big Muddy Canal, reflecting the ongoing efforts to reclaim and farm these fertile but flood-prone areas between the local hills of Meux Hill and Fortescue Hill.
