About this map

The borderlands of Lamar County and Fayette County are defined by a complex network of creeks including Rocky Ford Creek, Hells Creek, and Browns Mill Creek. Small settlements and family clusters like Mansfield, Bluff, and Kirkland dot the landscape, connected by a web of county roads and routes like Tywater Road and Jasper Road.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds and rural churches scattered throughout the township. Many of these, such as Old Antioch Cemetery, Sizemore Cemetery, and Holliman Cemetery, are tucked away along timbered ridges and creek bottoms. The presence of Blooming Grove Cemetery and Corinth Cemetery near the western edge reflects the early religious foundations of these small communities. In the south, the landscape shifts toward the drainage of Dubose Lake, while the eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the course of Turkey Creek as it passes near Bluff.
