About this map

Shoal Creek and its many winding tributaries define the topography of this Tennessee landscape south of Lawrenceburg. Small rural settlements like Mount Lebanon and Pea Ridge are scattered across the higher ground, often centered around family and community burial sites such as Mount Lebanon Cem and the Kilburn Cem. The map reveals a high density of these smaller cemeteries, including Luna Cem, Bailey Cem, and Payne Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this part of Lawrence County.

Transportation follows the ridges and creek valleys, connecting places like Springers Station and Pleasant Point in the south to the larger community of Gandy in the north. Distinctive terrain features such as Limekiln Hollow and Horseshoe Bend along the creek beds suggest a landscape deeply carved by water over time. The southern portion of the map is particularly water-rich, featuring Shack Lake and several named springs, including Bailey Spring and Durham Spring, which likely served as vital water sources for the early Crewstown and Long Branch communities.
