1978 Map of Lynnville

About this map

Lynnville serves as a central hub in this landscape of the Kentucky-Tennessee borderlands, where the terrain is defined by the headwaters of numerous creeks flowing toward the north and south. The map documents a dense network of family-named cemeteries and rural congregations, such as Burnetta Chapel and Rhodes Chapel, which underscore the deep genealogical roots of Graves Co and Weakley Co. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of Terrapin Creek and Bacon Creek, with small communities like Tri City and Bell City positioned along the early roadway routes.
