About this map

Pillowville and the surrounding rural communities of Liberty and Sandhill define this portion of Weakley County, where small settlements are connected by a dense network of country roads. The landscape is deeply carved by watercourses such as Cane Cr, Cotton Cr, and Spring Cr, which drain northward toward the Middle Fork Obion River. This drainage pattern influenced the placement of early homesteads and cemeteries on the higher ground between the creek bottoms.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through numerous family and community burial sites, including Cox Cem, Higgs Cem, and Beech Springs Cem. The presence of several distinct cemetery labels in close proximity, such as Liberty Cem, Parks Cem, and Simms Cem, suggests a long history of family-centered settlement. In the south, Crowley Store and Seminary Cem mark established nodes of commerce and faith that have served this agrarian landscape through the generations.
