About this map

Lancing serves as the primary settlement in this corner of Morgan County, where the convergence of the Obed River and Emory River creates a landscape defined by swift water and steep relief. The map reveals a significant concentration of named rapids, such as The Grunch Rapids, Widow Maker Rapids, and the evocatively named Ohmigod Rapids, highlighting the river's character.

Smaller hamlets like Howard Mill, Shady Grove, and Catoosa are connected by a network of winding roads, including Old Montgomery Rd and Catoosa Rd. Historic crossing points and landmarks such as Lilly Bridge, Nemo Bridge, and Alley Ford indicate how locals and travelers have navigated this terrain. From the heights of Hatfield Mountain down to Clear Creek Junction, the survey documents a region where river geography and rural settlement are deeply intertwined.
