About this map

The Buffalo River and Shoal Cr systems define the drainage of this Lawrence County landscape, supporting a dense network of farming communities and crossroads north of the county seat. Lawrenceburg dominates the southern portion of the map, where the urban grid gives way to David Crockett State Park and the waters of David Crockett Lake. This modern survey reflects the steady growth of residential subdivisions in areas like Meadowview and Mars Hill, while maintaining the distinct boundaries of older settlements such as Ethridge and Brace.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here due to the many family and community burial grounds, including the Mount Ararat Cem, Yoder Cem, and Kidd Cem. The map tracks several smaller tributaries, such as Crawfish Cr and Oehmen Br, which historically dictated the placement of roads and homesteads. Local springs like Hudson Spring and Fleming Spring further emphasize the hydrological character of the region.
