About this map

Fayetteville and the surrounding Lincoln County landscape are defined by the winding course of the Elk River, which carves deep bends like Morgan Bend and Henry Bend through the terrain. This Tennessee Valley Authority mapping reflects the mid-century transition of the area, showing the prominent Pea Ridge landform and the rural settlement patterns of the late 1940s. Local industry and infrastructure are represented by the Fayetteville Pumping Station, the Fayetteville Municipal Airport, and a Fish Hatchery near the southern boundary.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named landmarks and rural centers, including Skinem, Park City, and the namesake village of Lincoln. The map preserves the locations of several country burial grounds, such as Harris Cem and Wells Hill Cem, alongside spiritual centers like Macedonia Ch. Along the waterways, the historical footprint of the region is visible at Rozells Mill on the Flint River, while recreational and social landmarks like Camp Dunroamin and Boone Falls highlight the era's local character.
