About this map

The Elk River winds through the northern reaches of this Lincoln County landscape, defining the geography near Fayetteville. To the south, the terrain transitions into a complex of ridges and hollows, including Pea Ridge and Bugger Hollow, where small settlements like Skinem, Prospect, and Three Oaks are situated along a network of country roads. The map reveals a dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as the McGee-McCartney Cem, Macedonia Cem, and Lincoln Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this part of Tennessee.

Industrial and transport history is visible through the Fayetteville Municipal Airport and the site of Rozells Mill on the Williams Br. The presence of numerous named water features, including Rebecca Lake, Keith Spring, and Cottrell Spring, illustrates the historical reliance on local water sources for these rural communities. This survey provides a modern view of an area that maintains its traditional settlement patterns, from the northern river bends to the southern border near the Flint River.
