2022 Map of Yorkville

About this map

Yorkville and the surrounding Gibson County farmland are defined by the winding course of the N Fork Forked Deer River, which creates a wide marshy lowland at Buzzard Roost Bottom. This modern survey reveals a landscape deeply rooted in its nineteenth-century settlement patterns, where numerous rural burial grounds such as Hogue Cem, Good-Hope Cem, and Clear Creek Cem dot the uplands between tributary creeks like Dry Cr and Mud Cr. The intersection of Baseline RD and Yorkville ST serves as a focal point for the community, anchored by the Yorkville-Cumberland Presbyterian Church. To the east, the terrain transitions toward the edges of Rutherford and Dyer, showing the persistent agricultural character of West Tennessee. The dense network of family-named roads, including Ira Halford RD and Raymond Baker RD, suggests a long history of generational land ownership across these gently rolling divides.
