About this map

Lowryville sits at the heart of this landscape where the Tennessee-Alabama state line divides Hardin and Lauderdale counties. The area is defined by a dense network of family-named cemeteries and small rural settlements such as Pollards Mill and Walnut Grove, reflecting a long-standing agricultural and community structure along the creek valleys. Many of these sites, including the Faint Hope Cem and Cherry Chapel Cem, provide essential anchor points for genealogical research in this border region.

The terrain is characterized by numerous hollows, such as Davis Hollow and Parker Hollow, which channel water toward Horse Cr and Holland Cr. The presence of landmarks like Manbone Ridge and Sand Hill highlights the varied topography that has dictated road placement and settlement patterns for generations. This survey details the transition from the upland ridges to the fertile bottomlands near the state border, where local life has centered on small crossroads and church-adjacent burying grounds.
