About this map

Tenmile Creek and Hazel Creek wind through this rural landscape in the early twenty-first century, defining a region characterized by small crossroad settlements and significant genealogical sites. The area is dotted with historic burying grounds, from the central Bond Cemetery to the Corinth-O'Neil Cemetery near Corinth. In the northeast corner, the Tenn Spur railroad line represents the legacy of timber transport that historically drove the local economy.

Small communities like Green Hill, New Hope, and Shiloh serve as focal points for local history, each anchored by its own namesake cemetery. The terrain transitions from the water-rich bottomlands of Big Slough and Gin House Slough toward the open expanse of The Prairie, offering a clear view of the traditional land-use patterns and road networks that have connected these Drew County settlements for generations.
