1952 Map of Center Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Bluewater Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Bluewater Creek and Richardson Creek, carve a complex drainage pattern across this corner of Lauderdale County. The landscape is defined by its rural community structures, with a high density of country churches such as Greene Chapel, Richardson Chapel, and Sweet Gum Flat Church serving as local anchors. Settlement is dispersed across high ground between the hollows, with small hubs at Center Hill, Arkdell, and Mitchelltown. To the northeast, the corporate boundary of Lexington begins to encroach on the traditional farmland. Significant for genealogists, the area is dotted with family-named landmarks and resting places, including Pettus Cem, Grissom Cem, and Stutts Cem. Natural water sources like McGuire Spring and Worley Spring underscore the importance of local hydrology to the original farmstead locations in this mid-century period.
