2013 Map of Adams

About this map

Yatesville Lake dominates the northern landscape of this Lawrence County quadrangle, its intricate shoreline reaching into numerous hollows named for local families. Small settlements like Adams, Busseyville, and Evergreen are situated along the winding valley roads, marking a rural landscape where the topography is defined by the Right Fork Little Blaine Cr and the Levisa Fork. Genealogists will find a wealth of family history in the many small burial grounds throughout the area, including the Smoky Valley Cem, Prince Cem, and the Busseyville United Methodist Church Cem. The distribution of family-named hollows, such as Hugh Sparks Hollow and McCracken Hollow, reflects a deep-rooted pattern of upland settlement that persists alongside modern water management features.
