About this map

The Lutts Post Office serves as a central landmark for this rural landscape in Wayne County, where the settlement pattern follows the drainage of Weatherford Creek and Bear Creek. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of hollows and ridges, such as Browntown Ridge and Atkinson Ridge, which historically dictated the placement of family farms and small communities.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, including the Nowlin Family Cemetery, Mount Heber Cemetery, and Greeson Chapel Cemetery, indicating established family lineages throughout the area. Modern water management is visible through the Weatherford-Bear Creek Lake Number Two, while older transport routes like Pinhook Pike Rd and Beckham Hollow Rd connect the disparate hollows. The map provides a detailed view of the transition between the uplands and the creek bottoms that have sustained this community for generations.
