About this map

Rogersville serves as the focal point of this landscape, situated along the northern banks of the expansive Wheeler Lake. The geography is defined by the massive reach of the Tennessee River and its confluence with the Elk River, creating a complex shoreline dotted with residential developments like Ramblewood Shores and Ferry Shores. This survey documents a high density of family and community burial grounds, such as the Old Romine Cemetery and Little Zion Cemetery, which provide vital touchstones for genealogical research in this part of Lauderdale County.

Water features dominate the rural sections, from the Saltpeter Cave Bluff overlooking the river to smaller drainage networks like Second Creek and Simpson Branch. Historic crossing points and landmarks are preserved here, including the site of Lambs Ferry and the wide Elk River Shoals. The layout of local routes, including Thomas Airport Rd and numerous county roads, reveals the modern transition of traditional farming areas into lakeside communities.
