2022 Map of Lobelville

About this map

Lobelville anchors this survey of the Buffalo River valley in Perry County, where the river's winding course creates a series of fertile bottomlands and distinctive bends. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between these lowlands, such as Leeper Bottom and Owen Bottom, and the deeply etched hollows of the surrounding ridges. Dozens of small-scale drainages like Seedtick Cr and Red Bank Cr feed the main river, while numerous springs—including Pruette Spring, Ledbetter Spring, and Spout Spring—emerge from the base of the hills. Local genealogy is well-documented through a dense concentration of family burial grounds, including the Leeper Cem, Dodson Cem, and Tate Cem, which sit atop the higher ground overlooking the river's floodplains. Unique landmarks like Standing Rock and the topographic divide at Dividing Ridge highlight the complex terrain of middle Tennessee.
