About this map

Campbellsville serves as a primary settlement point on this mid-century survey of the Lawrence Co and Giles Co border. The landscape is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges, where small communities like Marcella Falls and Liberty Hill are connected by winding roads and light-duty trails. Family history is deeply etched into the terrain through numerous small burial grounds and rural houses of worship, such as Union Valley Church and Rose Hill Church.

Tracing the drainage of Factory Creek and Weakley Creek reveals a pattern of ridge-top agriculture and valley-bottom habitation typical of this Tennessee region. Genealogists will find a high density of named cemeteries including Yarbrough Cem, Kimbrough Cem, and Stafford Cem, alongside landmarks like Jasper Field and Briar Ridge. The presence of Marcella Falls Church and Cloverdale Church suggests the social centers of these small rural crossroads during the mid-twentieth century.
