1950 Map of Osage

About this map

Cottage Grove and Osage anchor this survey of Henry County, which captures the rural landscape of northwest Tennessee as it transitioned into the mid-century. The terrain is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide, where drainage patterns separate toward the Tennessee River and the Mississippi. Along the southern portion of the sheet, the Middle Fork Obion River winds through Ward Bottom, showing evidence of mid-century infrastructure with a Dam under construction noted near Trainer Creek.
