About this map

Indian Creek and its many tributaries, such as Rayburn Cr and Morgan Cr, define the drainage patterns of this section of the Tennessee-Alabama borderlands. The landscape is marked by a high density of small family and community burial grounds, reflecting the deep-rooted genealogical history of the area. Small settlements like Martins Mills and Lutts serve as local hubs, connected by a network of winding roads like Old Weatherford Creek Rd and Horse Creek Rd.

The presence of numerous family-named cemeteries, including the Nowlin Family Cem, Stribling Cem, and Gillis Cem, provides a detailed record of the families who settled these ridges and hollows. Terrain features such as Browntown Ridge and Atkinson Ridge separate the various creek valleys, while the Weatherford-Bear Cr Lake Number Two south of Lutts represents a more modern addition to the hydrology of the Weatherford Creek basin.
