2010 Map of Boonshill

About this map

Boonshill Cemetery and numerous family burying grounds are scattered across this Lincoln County landscape, reflecting generations of settlement along the complex drainage of the Elk River. The terrain is defined by a series of narrow hollows such as Sawyer Hollow and Barnes Hollow, which carve into the higher elevations of Hickory Ridge and Sugg Hill. Winding watercourses like Swan Creek and Little Swan Creek dictate the placement of local roads, including Delina Boonshill Rd and HugHEY Rd. Near the southern edge, the Elk River makes a sharp turn at Hovis Bend, passing below the prominent Whitaker Bluff. This map provides significant genealogical value, identifying dozens of small cemeteries like the McDaniel Cemetery, Childress Cemetery, and Martin-Chitwood Cemetery that might otherwise be overlooked in modern records.
