About this map

The Buffalo River meanders through the heart of this landscape, its path defined by fertile lowlands like Leeper Bottom and Rains Bottom. The settlement of Lobelville serves as the primary hub, showing a concentrated pattern of growth along Tennessee 13 and the riverbanks. High ridges, most notably Dividing Ridge and Crooked Creek Ridge, separate the numerous hollows that characterize the local geography, such as Hellneck Hollow and Malugin Hollow.

Genealogists will find a high density of family burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including Dodson Cems, the Davidson Hester Cem, and Malugin Cem. Cultural landmarks like Buffalo Ch and the Lobelville Lookout Tower provide anchors for local history research. The presence of numerous named springs, such as Bone Spring and Spout Spring, highlights the historical reliance on natural water sources before modern infrastructure altered rural life.
