About this map

The South Fork Obion River meanders through this West Tennessee landscape, marking the confluence of Carroll, Weakley, and Gibson Counties. Small agricultural hubs like Staffords Store, Holly Leaf, and the community of Christmasville define the rural character of the area in the mid-1960s. The settlement pattern is anchored by a network of country churches, including Republican Grove Ch, Pleasant Green Ch, and Pilgrims Ch, which served as the social heart of these farming communities.

Industrial activity is centered on the Louisville and Nashville corridor, which cuts through the southeastern corner near Trezevant. The topography is defined by numerous drainage systems like Bear Creek and Plum Creek, which fed the fertile bottoms of the Obion. For genealogists, the map preserves the exact locations of family-named landmarks and rural outposts like Gann before modern infrastructure altered the local road network.
