2016 Map of Cottage Grove

About this map

Cottage Grove serves as the primary hub for this rural Henry County landscape, where the agricultural grid is defined by a dense network of family-named cemeteries and historical crossroads. The terrain is deeply carved by the North Fork Obion River and its tributaries, including Walnut Fork Creek and Mill Creek. These waterways dictated the early settlement patterns of hamlets like Jones Mill and provided the natural boundaries for a patchwork of small homesteads. The sheer number of family burial grounds, such as Paschall-Wall Cem, Kuykendall Cem, and Brisendine Cem, offers significant insight for genealogists tracking the migration and establishment of local lineages. Transport routes like Jones Mill Crossland Rd and memories of old education centers found along Old Blake School Rd underscore the community's long-standing connection to this Tennessee countryside.
