About this map

Lowryville and the surrounding borderlands of southern Tennessee and northern Alabama are characterized by a dense network of cemeteries and small rural clusters tucked into the hollows. The landscape is defined by the drainages of Horse Cr and Whites Cr, which carve through the terrain near Manbone Ridge. These waterways once supported local industry and agriculture, evidenced by the location of Pollards Mill along Holland Cr.

Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its high density of named family burial sites, such as Franks Store Cem, Stricklin Cem, and Cantrell-Johnson Cem. The map illustrates the persistent settlement patterns of the region, from the community at Walnut Grove to the more dispersed homes in Frazier Hollow and Boltie Hollow. The transition between Hardin County and Lauderdale County is clearly marked, following the varied topography of the Highland Rim.
