2018 Map of Landersville

About this map

Landersville and Mount Hope anchor the northern reaches of this Lawrence County landscape, where the agricultural plains meet the rising ridges of the Tennessee Valley Divide. The southern half of the map transition into the dense woodland of the William B. Bankhead National Forest, defined by a complex network of hollows and gaps such as Walker Gap and McClung Gap. This area preserves several family and community landmarks, including the Wear Cem and Smith Cem, illustrating the settlement patterns that followed Town Creek and its various tributaries. Industry of the past is signaled by Walker Mill Hollow, while the topography around Goat Bluff and Flannagin Canyon showcases the dramatic dissection of the plateau as it drops toward the creek basins. The map also captures smaller communities like Hickory Grove and Needmore, connected by a grid of county roads that navigate the varying elevations.
