2022 Map of Latham

About this map

The North Fork Obion River meanders through this agricultural landscape in northern Weakley County, defining the drainage patterns of several tributaries including Richland Cr and Raccoon Cr. The area is characterized by a dense network of country roads connecting small settlements like Dukedom, Latham, and Brundige. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named burial grounds, such as Acree Cem, Dunn Cem, and Hatlers Chapel Cem. In the southern portion of the sheet, the presence of Cypress Cr Number Two Lake and the nearby Pisgah community show the continued significance of water management and local identity in this rural district. The landscape transition from the higher ground near Austin Springs down to the river bottoms is illustrated by the winding paths of Powell Cr and Old Knob Cr.
