2022 Map of Cuba

About this map

Pilot Oak and Cuba anchor this rural landscape in Graves County, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of headwaters including Bayou de Chien, Obion Cr, and Blackamore Cr. The map reveals a deeply rooted community structure centered on family and congregational history, evidenced by more than twenty named burial grounds. Significant sites such as the Pilot Oak Baptist Cem, Cuba Baptist Cem, and the Colley Family Cem suggest long-standing generational ties to the land. The road network follows the undulating topography between stream valleys, connecting landmarks like Little Bethel Cem and Poyners Chapel Cem across the state line between Kentucky and Tennessee. This survey documents the intersection of agricultural life and historical preservation in the Jackson Purchase region.
