About this map

The Buffalo River meanders through this portion of Lewis County, carving a landscape defined by deep hollows and high ridges like Newburg Ridge and Waynesboro Ridge. Small rural settlements such as Riverside, Kitchens, and Voorhies anchor the community, while the industrial legacy of the region is quietly marked by the Slag Pile Pond near Locust Hollow. In the southeastern corner, the Natchez Trace Parkway cuts across the terrain, passing near Laurel Hill Cemetery.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here, with numerous family and community burial grounds scattered throughout the hills, including Grinders Creek Cemetery, Crowell Cemetery, and Mannie Cemetery. The geography of the area is further characterized by the confluence of numerous small waterways like Rockhouse Creek and Chief Creek, which feed into the larger river systems and dictate the placement of local roads like Seiber Ridge Road.
