OR Atlas Plate 149, D-3 you will find Cherokee which is about 6 miles West from Newport on the Tennessee River. The map shows an unmarked "Ferry" on the opposite side of the River from Newport.

Morgan's Raiders, Dee Alexander Brown, p. 55, "Early on April 26, the raiders marched east from Burnsville, passed through Iuka and camped that night six miles from the Tennessee River. When they came up to the river at Oat's Ferry, the next morning, they found the stream almost at flood stage."
