1957 Map of Como

About this map

The Middle Fork Obion River defines the southern reach of this landscape, where the wetland bottomlands give way to a dense network of rural communities across Weakley and Henry Counties. Originally surveyed in 1957, the map illustrates an era of small-scale agriculture and social hubs, centered around crossroads like Como and Ore Springs. The prominence of local churches such as New Hope Ch and Hickory Grove Ch, often accompanied by their namesake cemeteries, speaks to the deep-rooted family history of the region.
