About this map

The Black River winds in deep oxbows through this corner of Lawrence County, defining a landscape of active waterways and historical river crossings. Meanders like Red Fox Bend and Burns Lower Bend characterize the river's path, while features such as the Selser Cut-off indicate efforts to manage the shifting channel. To the west, the Strawberry River flows through the bottomlands near Turkey Hill, surrounded by a network of drainage channels including Hill Slough and Cypress Creek.

Small rural settlements and family cemeteries are scattered across the higher ground east of the river. The community of Strangers Home is marked by its namesake Strangers Home Cem, alongside other local burial sites like Broom Cem and Ruffner Cem. The town of Lynn occupies the northwestern corner, anchored by Pleasant Hill Cem. The area's transport history is visible in the names of routes like Partee Ferry Loop and Whitlow Ferry Rd, recalling the era before modern bridges.
