2024 Map of Grayson

About this map

Grayson sits within the heavily forested landscapes of the William B Bankhead National Forest along the Lawrence and Winston County line. This area is defined by the Sipsey Fork of the West Fork Wild and Scenic River, which carves through the terrain alongside the Sipsey Wilderness. The map reveals a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, such as Tappsville Cem, McLemore Cem, and Slaton Cem, indicating a long history of rural settlement even in these densely wooded highlands. Significant geological and hydrological landmarks like the Tennessee Valley Divide and the Collier Creek Canyon shape the local drainage, while Grayson Lake provides a focal point near the central settlement. The presence of numerous equestrian routes, including the Pine Torch Horse Loop Tr and Brushy Creek Horse Loop Tr, highlights the modern recreational utility of these ancient ridges and hollows.
