picture info	Obion River The Obion River system is the primary surface water drainage system of northwestern Tennessee, United States. Description The Obion has four major forks, the North Fork, Middle Fork, South Fork and Rutherford Fork (which is named after Henry Rutherford an early surveyor of the area). The confluences of these forks are a few miles above the mouth of the Obion's discharge into the Mississippi River. For the greater parts of their lengths, the forks exist as separate streams. In the mid-20th century, the Obion system was largely channelized for agricultural purposes, under the auspices of the ''Obion-Forked Deer Basin Authority'', a Tennessee state agency that coordinated this work with the United States Army Corps of Engineers. Some of the adverse effects of channelization included increasing erosion of land, loss of wildlife habitat, and increased flooding downstream. But with the restoration of wetlands along the river in the 21st century, this process has now been halted a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

As of the 2020 census, the population was 25,143. Its county seat is Ripley. Since the antebellum years, it has been developed for cotton as a major commodity crop. History Lauderdale County was created in 1835 from parts of Tipton, Dyer and Haywood counties.

Whites used violence to enforce white supremacy after the war, continuing after Reconstruction. In the period after Reconstruction and into the early 20th century, whites in Lauderdale County committed e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

Harris and 19 other unidentified men removed four black men from the county jail and beat them, killing one of them. The sheriff was arrested. In '' United States v.
