1965 Map of Paris
USGS Topo · Published 1986About this map
Paris serves as the focal point of this West Tennessee landscape, where the L & N RR and the Tennessee Valley Divide intersect. The town’s 1960s footprint is marked by civic and social pillars including the Courthouse, the Henry County General Hospital, and the Armory. Surrounding the urban center, the terrain is defined by a dense network of cemeteries and small rural settlements like Whitlock and India. Insights into the local economy are found in the scattered Strip mines and the industrial infrastructure of the L & N RR. Notable for genealogists is the variety of burial grounds, from the Oak Hill Cem (Jewish) to smaller family-named sites like Puckett Cem and Hansel Cem. The hydrologic character is shaped by the Middle Fork Obion River and numerous branches like Twomile Branch and Threemile Branch.
