About this map

Luckett Ridge and Bald Knob define the rolling topography of this Lincoln County landscape, where the headwaters of numerous creeks begin their descent toward larger valley systems. The rural character of the area is anchored by the small communities of Apex and Argentville, connected by a network of state highways and county roads like State Hwy Y and State Hwy JJ. Numerous small reservoirs and farm ponds, such as Smith Lake and Gentry Lake, are distributed across the terrain, reflecting the agricultural and water management patterns of the region.

Local history is preserved in the high density of family and community burial grounds found here. From Pleasant Hill Cem near the ridge to Ashbury Chapel Cem and Bethany Cem further south, these sites provide essential reference points for genealogical research. The mapping of Hurricane Cr and Brushy Fork illustrates the natural drainage that influenced the placement of early homesteads and current property boundaries.
