About this map

The Buffalo River and Little Buffalo River carve a complex landscape of ridges and hollows in this 2010 survey of Lewis County. The area’s industrial heritage is etched into the terrain through a dense network of mining sites, including the Allens Creek Mines, Percy Mines, and numerous prospects like the Christian Prospect Number One and Nixon Craig Prospect. These features, coupled with the presence of Slag Pile Pond and the Rockhouse Railroad Rd, suggest a long history of resource extraction and transport.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family history in the many small burial grounds scattered across the quadrangle, from the Dirtdobber Cemetery to the Dabbs Cemetery. The map also captures the path of the Natchez Trace Pkwy as it crosses the Little Buffalo River near Laurel Hill Cemetery. Waterways and natural features such as Texas Bottoms, Metal Ford, and Churchwell Bend anchor the rural landscape, while the Palmer Village-Napier Lake Airport provides a modern logistical point in this historically resource-driven region.
