1957 Map of Como

About this map

The Middle Fork Obion River and its various tributaries, including Cypress Creek, Thompson Creek, and Cane Creek, define the landscape of this Tennessee region on the border of Weakley and Henry counties. This survey, primarily based on 1950s data with later revisions, shows a rural community organized around small settlements like Como, Ore Springs, and Jewell. The map is particularly dense with features of interest to genealogists, documenting numerous small country churches such as Macks Grove Ch, Little Zion Ch, and Wesleys Chapel, alongside family-named cemeteries like Campbell Cem and Taylor Cem. The creation of Garrett Lake stands out as a significant landmark in the central terrain. Social life in the mid-20th century is further evidenced by the Central Sch and the Eagle Hill Community Center, while the presence of Peelers Pond and Muzzalls Pond highlights the importance of local water management in this agricultural area.
