About this map

Tatumville and its surrounding rural communities occupy this landscape along the border of Dyer and Gibson counties. The area is defined by a dense network of country roads named for local families, including Adkins Cemetery Rd, Haywood Thompson Rd, and Bobby Thompson Rd, which connect small settlements like Edgewood, Lapata, and Neboville. The southern portion of the map transitions into the low-lying wetlands of the Tatumville Bottom and Macedonia Bottom.

Waterways like the North Fork Forked Deer River and its tributaries, including Doakville Cr and Bethel Br, dictate the local topography. For those tracing family history, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds such as Atkins Cem, Center Cem, and Shaw Cem. The layout of roads and small centers like Churchton and Yorkville illustrates the persisting agricultural character of this West Tennessee region in the early 21st century.
