About this map

Elk River winds through the northern reaches of this Tennessee-Lincoln County border region, carving prominent bends such as Morgan Bend and Henry Bend. The landscape transitions from these river lowlands into the dissected uplands of Pea Ridge, a terrain defined by numerous hollows bearing local names like Locker Hollow and Blankenship Hollow. Small agricultural communities and rural crossroads anchor the 1951 settlement pattern, most notably the village of Lincoln and the community at Boone Falls.

Industry and local life are recorded through sites like Rozells Mill and the Fayetteville Pumping Station. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and rural institutions, including Johnson Sch, Macedonia Ch, and several well-established burial grounds such as Pleasant Grove Cem and Walker Cem. The presence of the Florida Short Route indicates the area's role in mid-century regional transit and commerce.
