About this map

The Clinch River meanders through a landscape defined by prominent ridges such as Copper Ridge and Chestnut Ridge in this late-1950s survey of Russell County. Centered on the town of Lebanon, the map reveals a dense network of rural settlements like Spring City, Artrip, and the curiously named Stone Bruise. This area is particularly rich in genealogical data, with dozens of family-named burial grounds including Musick Cem, Howard Cem, and the Pauper Cem.

Transportation routes are anchored by the Norfolk and Western Railway and the historic Lonesome Pine Trail, which passes south of the town center. Cultural markers are frequent, from the Cedar Creek Mission and New Garden Church to the Weaver Creek Sch. Notable physical landmarks such as Daughertys Cave and the crossing at Nash Ford illustrate how the local population interacted with the limestone geology and river systems of the region.
