I think youare talking about Boneyard road. It is a short road that runs from Hwy 45 to 7th st / Shiloh road. Kossuth is just a few miles south west of Corinth, just off hwy 72. To get to Chewalla TN., you would go out Wenasoga road from Corinth. It is about 10 miles from the Corinth city limits. Chewalla is a very small town as is Kossuth. They consist of about 2 stores and a Post office. If I can answer any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
