About this map

The town of Lynchburg and the rural communities of southern Middle Tennessee are captured here through a detailed 1949 survey, with revisions added in the late 1960s. The geography is characterized by an intricate system of hollows and ridges, many bearing the names of early settler families such as Rob Warren Hollow, John Allen Hollow, and Sam Hart Hollow. These family names extend to the local infrastructure, seen in routes like Wiseman Road and Anderson Road.

The map reveals a landscape of small, localized social centers revolving around country schools and churches, including Charity Sch and Mt Moriah Ch. Near the Mulberry Creek valley, the settlement of Booneville serves as a local hub. Interesting geological features like Ward Cave are noted among the ridges, while numerous family burial grounds such as Womack Cem and Rees Cem provide vital clues for genealogical research in this region of Moore, Lincoln, and Bedford counties.
