About this map

Lynnville serves as the central hub of this 1952 topographic study, situated just north of the border where Kentucky meets Tennessee. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of family-named cemeteries and rural institutions, reflecting the agricultural roots of Graves Co and Weakley Co. Significant landmarks such as Cuba High Sch and Burnett Chapel indicate the community focal points of the era, while the drainage patterns of Terrapin Creek and Bacon Creek define the local topography.

Along the southern edge, small settlements like Boydsville and Bell City appear near the state line, illustrating the cross-border connectivity of the region. Local industry is represented by a Gravel Pit, and the high density of burial grounds—including Kesterson Cem, Barton Cem, and Pittman Cem—provides a detailed genealogical record for researchers tracing the early 20th-century inhabitants of this rural corridor.
