2013 Map of Boonshill

About this map

The Elk River carves a deep path through southern Lincoln County, creating dramatic landforms like Whitaker Bluff and river meanders at Pitts Bend and Hovis Bend. This 2013 landscape is defined by its small crossroads settlements and agricultural holdings, including Deer Valley Farm and the community of Pearl City. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous named hollows, such as Bugtussle Hollow and Sorghum Hollow, which drain into the river system. Transportation through the area centers on several key connectors, with the village of Boonshill serving as a focal point in the northwest. Local genealogists will find value in the specific road names like Delina Boonshill Rd and Williams Rd, which often reflect the family names tied to these specific tracts of Tennessee highland. Small historic hubs like East Cyruston, Harms, and Hughey remain identifiable markers of the region's rural character and social geography.
