About this map

Lawrenceburg serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s landscape, where the confluence of the Louisville and Nashville railroad and major thoroughfares like the Andrew Jackson Highway underscore its role as a regional crossroads. The town's infrastructure is well-defined, featuring the Courthouse, Post Office, and the sprawling grounds of the Lawrenceburg Golf and Country Club. Just west of the urban center, David Crockett State Park encompasses the New Shoal Creek Dam and its reservoir, reflecting the era’s investment in public recreation and water management.

Beyond the city limits, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of rural communities such as Leoma, New Prospect, and Gum Springs. For genealogists, the map is a rich resource, documenting numerous family-named landmarks and burial grounds, including Mimosa Cem, Tripp Cem, and Hickman Cem. The outlying areas are marked by schools and country churches like Wesley Chapel and Oak Hill Ch, which anchor the smaller settlements scattered throughout Lawrence County.
