2014 Map of Lyerly

About this map

Shinbone Ridge and the broad Shinbone Valley define the western reaches of this Chattooga County landscape, where the settlements of Menlo and Alpine sit along the base of the mountain. The terrain transitions from these high ridges toward the Chattooga River valley in the southeast, passing through Back Valley and the smaller community of Perennial. The map documents a rural network of springs and family-named landmarks, including Moseley Springs, Gamble Spring, and the Pleasant Green Church Memorial Monument. The industrial and agricultural heritage of the region is anchored by Lyerly, where the Lyerly Dam and Lyerly Cemetery mark the historic town center. Further east, the community of Berryton is positioned near Raccoon Creek, illustrating a settlement pattern deeply tied to the local water systems and valley floor geography.
