2016 Map of Cornersville

About this map

Cornersville and its surrounding communities are situated at the intersection of Marshall, Giles, and Lincoln counties. The landscape is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges, with Richland Creek and its many tributaries, such as Tory Fork and W Fork Bradshaw Cr, shaping the local topography. This 2016 survey highlights the agrarian character of the region, where small settlements like Graball, Diana, and Gnat Grove are connected by a web of rural roads. Numerous family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including Horton Cem and Mount Pleasant Cem, underscore the deep-rooted local history. The presence of Beech Cliff Church and Stephens Church reflects the importance of community centers in these remote valleys. Water features like Lewis Lake and McKinnon Lake provide critical resources in a terrain dominated by formations such as Horse Knob and Elk Ridge, illustrating how the physical geography has guided settlement patterns for generations.
