2010 Map of Lexington

About this map

Lexington and Anderson anchor this Lauderdale County landscape where the Tennessee-Alabama border country is defined by a dense network of creek valleys and family-named hollows. The terrain is marked by numerous watercrossings, including Sledge Ford Bridge and the namesake Sledge Ford on Second Creek, alongside Ingram Ford and Moody Ford further east. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in family burial sites, documenting locations for the Portertown Cemetery, Shelton Cemetery, Harmon Cemetery, and Brown Cemetery among others. Several geographic landmarks such as Ivy Bluff, Sawmill Hollow, and Corum Hollow illustrate how the local topography influenced early settlement patterns. Small communities like Powell appear along the northern reaches, connected by a web of local routes including the Betty Hwy, which traverses the central ridges between Anderson Creek and First Creek.
