About this map

Tiptonville sits at the southern edge of this West Tennessee landscape, where the shifting waters of the Mississippi River have carved a complex geography of bends, sloughs, and basins. The map illustrates the profound impact of the river's historical course, particularly around Island Number 10 and the prominent Slough Landing Neck. These hydrological features are flanked by small agricultural settlements such as Cronanville, Phillippy, and Proctor City, connected by a network of local roads including Cates Landing Rd N and Levee Rd.

Family history is well-preserved through numerous small burial sites like Cronanville Cem, Buckelew Cem, and Free Will Cem. The eastern portion of the sheet reveals a marshy environment of sloughs and basins, including Black Bayou and Needle Eye Basin. This 2016 survey provides a clear view of the modern levee systems and property lines that define the region today, tracing the boundary where Lake Co meets Kentucky and Missouri across the water.
