About this map

Lynn Grove serves as a central hub for this rural stretch of Calloway County, Kentucky, and Henry County, Tennessee, just after the mid-century. The landscape is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide, which separates the drainage systems of Mayfield Creek and the Clarks River. This agricultural area is densely populated with community landmarks, particularly country churches like Salem Ch and Sinking Spring Church, alongside numerous family-named cemeteries such as Waterfield Cem and Brush Island Cem.

The border between Kentucky and Tennessee cuts through the lower portion of the sheet, where small settlements like Bell City and Crossland are situated. The presence of several grove-named communities, including Harris Grove and Browns Grove, suggests a history of clustered homesteads within the wooded drainage basins of Terrapin Creek and the East Fork Clarks River. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, from Taylors Store to several small kilns and branches, that locate family properties within the local topography.
