2010 Map of Oakland

About this map

Oakland serves as the primary hub in this West Tennessee landscape, where the transition from agriculture to residential development is marked by a high density of family and community burial grounds. This 2010 survey reveals a complex network of small reservoirs and dams, including Herb Parsons Lake, Catfish Lake, and Salmon Lake, many of which appear integrated into modern subdivisions like Big Bell Estates Lake. Genealogists will find a wealth of data points here, with over two dozen named cemeteries such as Wilson, Rayner, and Braswell scattered throughout the territory. The map also documents the Hickory Withe Post Office and various local drainage systems like Cypress Creek and Alexander Creek, providing a detailed picture of the region's land use and local history at the start of the 21st century.
