2014 Map of Lexington

About this map

The town of Lexington serves as the western anchor for this landscape where the Tennessee-Alabama border region transitions into a complex web of creek valleys and ridges. Local transit is defined by the intersection of Al-101 and Al-64, with the latter connecting the settlements of Grassy and Powell. The terrain is deeply incised by watercourses like Second Cr and Anderson Cr, creating numerous hollows such as Sawmill Hollow and Stout Hollow. For genealogists, the map is particularly dense with burial sites including Portertown Cem, Shelton Cem, and Harmon Cem, many situated near high points or along drainage divides. The central portion of the sheet features the Sledge Ford Bridge, a notable crossing over the winding Second Cr. Further south, the community of Whitehead sits near the confluence of Bills Br and Herston Br, illustrating how early 21st-century settlement patterns remained closely tied to the area's natural topography.
