2011 Map of Lexington

About this map

Lexington and Anderson anchor this northern Alabama landscape, which reveals a dense network of family-named landmarks and rural settlements near the Tennessee border. The map provides extensive detail for genealogists, documenting numerous burial grounds including Portertown Cemetery, Shelton Cemetery, and Rice Cemetery. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage system where Second Creek and Anderson Creek wind through various hollows, such as Sawmill Hollow and Corum Hollow. Historical transit patterns are visible through old crossings like Sledge Ford Bridge, Ingram Ford, and Moody Ford. Small communities like Grassy, Powell, and Whitehead are situated along a web of county roads and Highway 64, reflecting the persistent rural character of Lauderdale County during this period.
