2019 Map of Lobelville

About this map

Lobelville serves as the focal point of this Tennessee valley, situated along the winding course of the Buffalo River. The landscape is defined by its numerous hollows and ridges, such as Dividing Ridge and Crooked Creek Ridge, which create a complex network of small stream drainages. The river valley is punctuated by significant crossings, including Standing Rock Bridge and the Mill Bridge near McCoy Hill. Genealogists will find a high density of small family burial grounds throughout the area, from the Dodson Cemeteries and Leeper Cem near the town center to more remote sites like Malugin Cem and Jones Cem in the north. The area's hydrology is rich with named springs such as Pruette Spring and Leeper Spring, illustrating the importance of natural water sources to the rural settlements. Small-scale agriculture is evident in the fertile bottomlands like Squeeze Bottom and Owen Bottom, while the presence of the Tennessee Gas Dr line indicates modern industrial infrastructure cutting through the traditional landscape.
