About this map

Lexington serves as the focal point of this West Tennessee landscape, situated along the Beech River and near the prominent Tennessee Valley Divide. The area’s geography is defined by the headwaters of several major drainage systems, including the Big Sandy River and the Middle Fork Forked Deer River. This 2016 survey illustrates the modern footprint of settlements like Sand Ridge, Broadway, and Bargeton, alongside significant water features such as Beech Lake and Berry Lake.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Old Hephzibah Cem, Antioch Cem, and Beech River Cem. The map reveals how local infrastructure follows the undulating terrain, with small communities like Hinson Springs and Timberlake connected by a network of county roads. Notably, the northern edge includes the historic vicinity of Parker's Crossroads, reflecting the region's enduring residential and agricultural patterns.
