About this map

The North Fork Forked Deer River winds through the southern reaches of this West Tennessee landscape, anchoring a rural topography defined by small settlements and family-named farm roads. The small community of Yorkville sits in the northwest corner, serving as a historic hub for the surrounding countryside. A network of secondary routes connects other localized centers including Hopewell, Newell, and Currie, illustrating a long-established pattern of dispersed agricultural homesteads.

The hydrology of the region is exceptionally detailed, featuring numerous named tributaries such as Mud Cr, Squirt Cr, and Cow Cr that drain the fertile bottomlands. One of the most distinctive terrain labels is Buzzard Roost Bottom, a name suggestive of the low-lying, often swampy ground typical of the Forked Deer River drainage basin. For researchers, the sheer density of named roads like Old Bethlehem Rd and Bells Chapel Rd provides specific geographic markers for locating historic family land tracts and rural congregations.
