About this map

Hatton and the surrounding Lawrence County uplands are documented here in a detailed landscape of family farms and small communities. The terrain transitions from the elevations of Black Ground Mountain and Mill Mtn in the north toward the gentler valley of Town Creek to the south. This area is characterized by a dense network of early rural institutions, including New Zion Ch, Okalona Church, and Harris Chapel, alongside numerous family-named burial grounds like Fergason Cem and Rutherford Cem.

The road network of 1948 relied on vital crossings such as Hardin Bridge and Lackey Bridge, connecting disparate settlements like Wolf Springs and Randolph. Detailed features such as the Airway beacon near Love Cem and the Community Center west of Oak Grove reflect the infrastructure of the mid-20th century. This survey also captures land use through fence and field lines, illustrating the agricultural footprint before later consolidation and modern development altered the local rural character.
