1967 Map of Trezevant East

About this map

The South Fork Obion River bisects this West Tennessee landscape, defining the topography between the growing hubs of McKenzie to the north and Trezevant in the southwest. A prominent diagonal of the Seaboard railroad cuts across the terrain, serving the small settlements of Wingo and Jarrell. The map documents a rural network of community life during the mid-20th century, anchored by local institutions like the Liberty Hill Sch and Union Academy Sch. Genealogists will find a wealth of family and community history preserved in the numerous rural burial grounds scattered across the hills, including Wilder Cem, St Johns Cem, and Spring Hill Ch Cem. The drainage patterns of Reedy Creek, Clear Creek, and Todd Creek illustrate the water-rich geography of the Carroll County and Weakley County borderlands.
