2010 Map of Trimble

About this map

The town of Trimble serves as the focal point of this Northwest Tennessee landscape, situated where the terrain begins its transition toward the river bottomlands. The northern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the winding course of the Obion River and the engineered modifications of the Old Obion River Drainage Canal, reflecting a history of water management to support local agriculture. The rural character of the area is emphasized by a high density of family-named roadways and landmarks, such as Sharps Ferry Rd and McDonnel Rd. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial sites, including Pierce Cemetery, Jones Cemetery, and Mount Carmel Cemetery, which are scattered throughout the agricultural parcels. Smaller waterways like Reeds Creek and Mulherin Creek drain the surrounding fields, while Guy Jones Lake provides a distinct hydrological feature in the western portion of the survey.
