About this map

The N Fork Forked Deer River and its accompanying Macedonia Bottom wetlands define the southern landscape of this West Tennessee quadrangle. These lowlands transition into a grid of agricultural lands and rural crossroads, where small communities like Tatumville and Neboville serve as local anchors. The map reflects a deeply rooted settlement pattern, with family names and local history preserved in the locations of Atkins Cem, Center Cem, and Shaw Cem.

Drainage systems such as Doakville Cr and Bethel Br dictate the local topography, carving through the terrain between the settlements of Edgewood, Lapata, and Churchton. This area, straddling the border between Dyer and Gibson counties, is characterized by a dense network of secondary roads that link the various bottoms and ridges, illustrating the enduring agricultural character of the region in the early 21st century.
