2019 Map of Lancing

About this map

The Obed Wild And Scenic River carves a deep, winding path through the northern reaches of the Cumberland Plateau in Morgan County. This landscape is defined by the sharp relief of the river gorge, featuring a series of white-water landmarks such as The Grundy Rapids, Camel Rapids, and Nemo Rapids. Small rural communities like Lancing and Shady Grove are positioned on the higher ground above the canyon, while the settlement of Nemo sits at the confluence of the Emory River and the Obed. For genealogists and local historians, the map is a primary source for locating family burial grounds, including the Zumstein Cem, Nitzschke Cem, and Hamby Cem, many of which are tucked away near old mountain roads. Significant river crossings like Jett Bridge and Nemo Bridge anchor the transportation network through this heavily forested region.
