1956 Map of Latham

About this map

The North Fork Obion River meanders through this portion of Weakley County, defining a wide floodplain that separates the northern and southern agricultural uplands. In the mid-1950s, the rural character of this Tennessee landscape is evident through its dense network of community anchors, particularly its numerous country churches such as New Hope Ch, Concord Ch, and Pisgah Ch. The small village of Latham serves as a local hub, while smaller clusters like Brundige and Austin Springs mark the intersections of the era's light-duty road system.
