2010 Map of Loretto

About this map

Loretto stands as the central hub of this South Tennessee landscape, situated along the corridor of Old US Hwy 43. The map documents a community deeply rooted in its geography, evidenced by the high density of family and community burial sites such as Hensley Ridge Cemetery, Belew Springs Cemetery, and Saint Marys Cemetery. To the south, the settlement of Fairview marks the approach to the Alabama border, while the terrain transitions into several hollows and ridges, including Hensley Ridge and Fisher Hollow. The drainage of the area is defined by the winding paths of Bluewater Creek and Hurricane Creek, which are fed by numerous smaller tributaries like Williams Branch and Gable Branch. The Presence of Dickson Lake Dam and Johnson Lake illustrates the management of these local waters within a network of rural routes like Rascaltown Rd and Old Military Rd.
