About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide snakes through the center of this Henderson County landscape, separating the headwaters of the Middle Fork Forked Deer River from the Beech River basin. Lexington serves as the regional hub, situated amidst a network of small outlying settlements including Bargerton, Sand Ridge, and Parker's Crossroads. The geography is defined by its numerous small drainages and springs, such as Graper Spring and Wolf Creek, which flow through the dissected terrain south of the divide.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of family and community landmarks, particularly across the northern sections. Numerous burial grounds, including Old Hephzibah Cemetery, Boswell Cemetery, and Ridge Grove Cemetery, are documented alongside rural points of interest like Hinson Springs and Antioch. The map captures the mix of small-town development and rural agricultural heritage that characterizes this portion of West Tennessee.
