About this map

The West Tennessee seat of Crockett County, Alamo, serves as the primary hub of this mid-1960s survey. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Middle Fork Forked Deer River to the north and the sprawling Cypress Creek network to the south. Local agriculture and rural settlement patterns are visible in the many family-named routes such as Colvett Road and Nance Road, and small crossroads communities like Quincy and Coxville.

Genealogists can trace localized history through numerous country landmarks including Porters Grove Ch, Coxs Chapel, and the Quincy Cem. The presence of the Gulf Mobile and Ohio and Louisville and Nashville railroads underscores the importance of rail transport to these rural Tennessee communities. Unique topographical features like Horns Bluff and historical sites like Mound Field provide further points of interest for researchers of the region's physical and cultural history.
