2010 Map of Cottage Grove

About this map

Cottage Grove serves as the primary settlement center in this part of Henry County, situated within a landscape defined by the winding course of the North Fork Obion River. The map reveals a dense network of family and community history, evidenced by an exceptional number of small, rural cemeteries that dot the countryside. Prominent watercourses such as Walnut Fork Creek, Mill Creek, and Pleasant Grove Creek carve through the terrain, dictating the placement of early road networks like Old Caldwell Rd and Martin Mill Rd. The distribution of these family burial grounds, including the Maxwell Cemetery, Kuykendall Cemetery, and Parrish Cemetery, suggests a long-established agricultural community where land ownership remained remarkably stable through generations. This detailed survey provides a clear view of the rural settlement patterns and hydrological features that have shaped the region north of the Obion River.
