About this map

The Buffalo River meanders through the heart of this Perry County landscape, defining the local geography as it flows past Lobelville. The river's influence is evident in the numerous named bottoms and crossings, including the Blue Hole Bridge, Gilmore Bridge, and Mill Bridge. The terrain is deeply dissected by a network of hollows—such as Hellsneck Hollow, Niblett Hollow, and Stone Quarry Hollow—and ridges like Dividing Ridge, reflecting the characteristic topography of the Western Highland Rim.

For genealogists, the map is particularly rich, identifying numerous family-associated burial sites and landmarks. These include the Dodson Cemeteries, Bone Spring Cem, and Leeper Cem, along with springs like Horner Spring and Leeper Spring. The distribution of these features, alongside many named points like Standing Rock and Tate Bend, provides a detailed record of land use and family settlement patterns in the Tennessee river valley region during the early 21st century.
