About this map

Holly Grove serves as the primary hub in this Monroe County landscape, where the flat alluvial terrain is defined by a complex network of wetlands and drainage patterns. The settlement of Lawrenceville sits to the south near the banks of Maddox Bay, while smaller locales like Deep Elm and Duncan are connected by a grid of rural roads including State Hwy 146 and Maddox Bay Rd. The map reveals a high density of small burial grounds, such as Macedonia Cem, Redmans Cem, and Goodwin Cem, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research.

Water dominates the southern half of the quadrangle, characterized by distinctive "slashes" and bayous. Significant features like Boat Gunwale Slash, Persimmon Slash, and Ash Slash illustrate the unique hydrology of the White River basin. These seasonal wetlands and sluggish streams, including Walker Cypress Cr and Dial Cr, historically dictated the placement of homesteads and transport routes in this agricultural region.
