1949 Map of Lowryville

About this map

Lowryville and the surrounding borderlands of Tennessee and Alabama define this mid-century topographic record, which documents a landscape deeply etched by the drainage of Horse Creek and its many winding tributaries. The settlement pattern here is dictated by the rugged creek hollows, with small communities like Walnut Grove and Sand Hill serving as anchors for rural life. Genealogists and historians will find a wealth of specific local landmarks, from Pollards Mill on the waters of Holland Creek to a dense network of family and community burial grounds, including Stricklin Cem, Fielder Cem, and the Saint Hope Cem.
