2019 Map of Hohenwald

About this map

Hohenwald serves as the focal point of this Lewis County landscape, where the intersection of local routes at Lomax Crossroads and the rail-aligned community of Kimmins define the regional settlement pattern. The terrain is deeply inscribed by a dense network of hollows, such as Brown Hollow, Stillhouse Hollow, and Norman Hollow, which have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and small family burial grounds. Dozens of these small cemeteries, including Swiss Cem, Lomax Cem, and the O'Guin Cem near Kimmins, are scattered across the ridges and valley floors, offering significant data for genealogical research. To the west, John A Baker Field provides a break in the corrugated topography of the Highland Rim, while water features like Highland Lake and the various forks of Cane Creek drain the surrounding timbered uplands.
