About this map

The Laurel Hill Wildlife Management Area occupies the northwest portion of this landscape, characterized by the winding path of the Little Buffalo River and its numerous tributaries. Settled life is centered around the village of Deerfield and smaller rural nodes like Center, Hudson, and Red Hill. The map reveals a community structured around its faith and agriculture, with several country churches including Greenwood Ch, Macedonia Ch, and Pleasant Grove Church.

An interesting specialized industry is visible near the center of the sheet at the minnow rearing ponds, while the southern border captures the edge of the Lawrenceburg city boundary. Transportation and heritage intersect at the Natchez Trace Parkway, which cuts through the western edge of the area. Genealogists will find value in the detailed plotting of family-named hollows and cemeteries, such as the Pleasant Grove Cem and Granddaddy Hollow.
