1950 Map of Obion
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
Obion and Troy anchor this mid-century topographic record of Northwest Tennessee, showing a landscape defined by its waterways and rail connections. The Illinois Central railroad bisects the terrain, running north-south through the village of Obion, while the engineered channel of the Obion River Canal cuts across the southern wetlands. The rural character of the county is evidenced by a high density of country churches and burial grounds, including Bethlehem Cem, Camp Ground Cem, and Mt Moriah Ch, which often served as the social centers for outlying farming families.
