About this map

Lexington serves as a primary hub for this rural portion of Lauderdale County, situated just north of the Arkdell and Center Hill communities. The landscape is defined by the extensive drainage systems of Bluewater Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Bluewater Cr and Hurricane Cr. This geography created a dispersed settlement pattern, where small communities like Antioch, Mitchelltown, and Springfield emerged along the ridges between creek hollows such as Michael Hollow.

Family history is deeply rooted across this terrain, evidenced by the high density of small burial grounds. Genealogists can find numerous sites including Richardson Chapel Cem, Holden Cem, and Pettus Cem. These features, alongside local landmarks like Worley Spring and Posshill Springs, illustrate a community closely tied to its natural water sources and upland farming tracts long after the initial settlement era.
