2016 Map of Lyles

About this map

Missionary Ridge and the Tennessee Valley Divide carve through this landscape in Dickson and Hickman counties, defining a region characterized by deep hollows and high ridges. The settlement of Lyles serves as a central hub, flanked by nearby Wrigley and the mineral-rich history associated with Bon Aqua Springs. The map reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Lyles Cem, New Hope Cem, and Tidwell Cem, which are scattered among the numerous drainage branches like Big Spring Cr and Mill Creek. The terrain is famously dissected by dozens of named hollows, including Potts Hollow, Cave Hollow, and Sugar Camp Hollow, illustrating a traditional upland Tennessee settlement pattern where roads and homes follow the winding valley floors beneath the steep divides.
