2023 Map of Henryville

About this map

Henryville and the surrounding high ground of the Lewis and Lawrence County line are documented here in detail. The modern Natchez Trace Parkway follows the historical corridor through the western portion of the map, passing significant sites like Metal Ford on the Buffalo River. The landscape is a network of ridges and hollows, such as Newburg Ridge and Limestone Hollow, which historically dictated the placement of small settlements and family burial grounds. Researchers will find numerous cemeteries preserved in this survey, including the Old Henryville Cemetery and Brock Cemetery near Chief Creek. The presence of Railroad Bed Road and Railroad Bed Pike through Quercus and Napier points to the area's older transportation and industrial infrastructure, while several springs like Skillman Spring and Hollow Spring mark the local hydrology that supported these rural communities.
