About this map

Dot and Schley anchor this agricultural landscape along the Kentucky Tennessee state line, where the winding course of the Red River and the South Fork Red River define the local topography. This region is marked by an exceptional density of family burial grounds and small community graveyards, reflecting a deep-seated genealogy of the borderlands. Notable sites include the James Riley Graveyard near Lickskillet and the Christian Orndorff Cem situated near the river bends.

The rural road network, including the evocative Dot-Tenn State Line Rd and Orndorff Mill Rd, connects scattered farmsteads across the undulating terrain. Waterways like Whippoorwill Creek and Spring Cr drain into the Red River basin, shaping a landscape that has remained largely agrarian. For researchers, the presence of numerous named cemeteries such as Robertson Cem and Smith- Shelton Cem provides specific data points for tracing early families in Logan and Robertson counties.
