1952 Map of Lexington

About this map

Lexington and Anderson anchor this mid-century survey of the Alabama-Tennessee borderlands in Lauderdale County. The landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of Second Creek and Anderson Creek, where numerous family-named hollows and branches like Sawmill Hollow and Shelton Branch signify early homesteading and resource use. The road network includes the prominent Betty Highway, which navigates a terrain dotted with rural landmarks essential for genealogical research, including Portertown Cem, Harmon Cem, and Corum Cem.
