About this map

Bonnertown sits at the southern edge of Lawrence County, anchored by the State Line Rd that divides Tennessee from Alabama. This landscape is defined by the winding drainages of Cottis Cr and Mockeson Br, which carve through the plateau to form distinctive terrain features like Steadman Ridge and Sawmill Hollow. The pattern of settlement is rural and dispersed, with community life centered around places like Center Point, Union Hill, and Ramah.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across these ridges, including the Sexton Cem, Gibbins Cem, and the uniquely named Home Sweet Home Cem. The map documents the local water network that once supported early industry at Bird Mill, where Idaho Br and Moodys Fork converge. This survey provides a clear look at the intricate road network, from Lambs Ferry Rd to Moon Shine Rd, which follows the natural contours of the Tennessee-Alabama borderlands.
