About this map

Christmasville and the surrounding Haywood County countryside are defined by a complex network of small creeks and local family-named roads. This agricultural landscape in West Tennessee is centered around the headwaters of Nixon Creek and Meridian Creek, where the terrain transitions into the wetlands of the South Fork Forked Deer River. Small settlements such as Tibbs and Shaw serve as historical anchors for the region, often marked by localized cemeteries that reflect the area's genealogical depth.

Legacy family names are preserved throughout the road system, including Dub Haynes Road and Henly-Felsenthal Road, highlighting the long-standing land divisions of the county. The map detail shows numerous small water bodies like Wiggins Lake and Duffy Lake which, alongside Shaws Chapel Cemetery and Hickory Grove Cemetery, provide specific points of interest for those researching the local community structure and rural development of the early 21st century.
