1971 Map of Lyeffion

About this map

Lyeffion and the neighboring community of Cooks Crossroads anchor this rural landscape in the early 1970s. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of the West Sepulga River and East Sepulga River, which converge to form the main Sepulga River channel. This map offers a detailed look at the social and logistical layout of the era, from the Sepulga Lookout Tower overlooking the timberlands to the network of country churches like New Hope Ch, Mt Zion Ch, and Little Pine Level Ch. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the industrial and transport needs of the county are visible through the path of the Louisville and Nashville railroad near the small settlement of Wilcox. Genealogists may find value in the scattered cemeteries and church sites, while the presence of Lake Shirley and Duck Creek provides a clear view of the local drainage patterns as they existed before modern development.
