About this map

Latham and Dukedom anchor this rural portion of Weakley County, where the agricultural landscape is defined by the winding course of the North Fork Obion River. This 2016 survey illustrates a community deeply rooted in its local geography, with numerous family-named cemeteries such as Hatler Cem, Acree Cem, and Matheny Grove Cem scattered across the countryside. The presence of smaller named localities like Brundige and Pisgah indicates long-standing neighborhood clusters often centered around these burial grounds and local roads.

The terrain is notably shaped by water management and conservation efforts, seen in the Cypress Creek Watershed Lake One and its sister lakes, Cypress Cr Number Two Lake and Cypress Creek Number Three Lake. These reservoirs, along with numerous tributaries like Blackamore Creek and Raccoon Cr, drain into the North Fork Obion River, which meanders through wetlands in the southwestern quadrant. This network of creeks and drainage basins reflects the area's ongoing relationship with the alluvial plains of West Tennessee.
