2018 Map of Lexington

About this map

The town of Lexington and the smaller community of Anderson anchor this portion of Lauderdale County just south of the Alabama-Tennessee border. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage systems of Second Creek and the various forks of Anderson Creek, which carve out notable terrain features like Ivy Bluff and Stout Hollow. This map is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it preserves the locations of several family-named landmarks and burial grounds, including the Portertown Cemetery, Harmon Cemetery, and Shelton Cemetery. The network of county roads, such as the Lexington-Bonnertown Road and the Betty Highway, connects established settlements like Grassy and Whitehead to the rural farmsteads and hollows that have long characterized this northern Alabama borderland.
