2010 Map of Lancing

About this map

Lancing Post Office serves as a focal point for this rural Tennessee landscape, situated near the northern edge of a terrain defined by deep river cuts and isolated family settlements. The Obed River carves a winding path through the center of the sheet, joined by tributaries such as Clear Creek and Crab Orchard Creek. This area is characterized by a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including Hamby Cemetery, Zumstein Cemetery, and Nitzschke Cemetery, which reflect the generations of residents who established themselves among the ridges and hollows. Local transportation relies on several key crossings like Lilly Bridge and Nemo Bridge, while topographic landmarks such as Hatfield Mountain and the water features at Jack Rock Falls and Alley Ford highlight the physical challenges and landmarks of the Morgan County backcountry.
