1949 Map of Tennessee Colony

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Tennessee Colony and Cayuga anchor this late 1940s landscape, where the agricultural traditions of Anderson County meet the industrial footprint of the Blackfoot Oil Field. The Trinity River forms a dominant natural boundary to the west, its floodplain punctuated by numerous oxbows and backwaters including Cook Lake, Weed Lake, and Patterson Lake. This environment supported a dense network of rural social institutions, evidenced by the many small churches and schools such as Trinity Chapel Sch, Freewill Ch, and New Bethel Ch. The presence of several family and community burial grounds, including Judson Cem and Liberty Cem, offers significant detail for those tracing local lineages. Along the river, landmarks like Greens Bluff and the site of Tyler Ferry Lake indicate the historical importance of the waterway for transport and local orientation before the widespread modernization of the road network.
