About this map

The Lawrenceburg area is defined by the winding course of the Salt River and its numerous tributaries, which carve through the landscape of Anderson County. This modern survey illustrates the growth of the regional center while preserving the locations of legacy rural settlements like Alton Station, Avenstoke, and Ninevah. The map is particularly rich in genealogical data, documenting a high density of family and community burial grounds including the Thacker Cem, Akins Cem, and the uniquely named Carpenter Lane Graveyard.

Waterways like S Benson Cr and Hammond Cr dictate the local geography, with roads often following the ridgelines between these drainage basins. While the southern portion shows the urban expansion of the county seat, the northern sections remain characterized by agricultural corridors along Green Wilson Rd and Lawrenceburg Rd, where small hamlets like Farmdale and Alton persist near the Franklin and Anderson County line.
