2016 Map of Lonewood

About this map

Lonewood and the surrounding plateau of the eastern Highland Rim are defined by a complex network of canyons and subterranean drainage. The Caney Fork river cuts a deep path through the center of the sheet, creating landmarks like the Big Bottom Caney Creek Gulch and Scott Gulf. Significant geological features such as Virgin Falls, Big Sink, and Hell Hole suggest a classic karst landscape where surface water frequently disappears into the limestone below. Local history is anchored by family burial grounds and small community centers, including Lonewood Cem, Graveyard Ridge Cem, and the settlement of Bethesda. The terrain is further marked by high points like Scott Pinnacle and Welch Knob, while a web of local roads such as Flowing Well Rd and Scott Gulf Rd provide access through the hollows and along the ridges of the Van Buren and White County border.
