About this map

Church Hill and the surrounding Rusk County landscape are defined by a high concentration of family cemeteries and small rural settlements. This 2016 survey highlights a persistent pattern of ancestral landholding, with numerous burial grounds like Wright Cem, Wasson Cem, and Young Cem scattered across the terrain. These sites often sit near the headwaters of local drainages such as Prospect Br and Beard Br.

Transport through the area relies on a dense network of Farm to Market roads and county routes that connect the communities of New Prospect and Chapman. While modern development is present, the geography remains largely rural, shaped by various small bodies of water including Shaw Lake, Roman Lake, and Swiley Lake. The layout of the roads often follows the contours of the land around these water features and the complex tributaries of Dorsett Cr and Dry Cr.
