About this map

Summertown Post Office serves as the central node for this Lawrence and Lewis County landscape, where the headwaters of several river systems emerge. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Buffalo River, which flows through the southern portion of the quadrangle, and the North Fork Buffalo River to the east. Transportation history is etched into the land via the distinct diagonal of Railroad Bed Pike and the historic Old Military Rd, which reflect early corridors of trade and movement through Middle Tennessee.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites scattered throughout the area, from the Summertown Cemetery near the town center to family-named locations like Wyrick Cemetery, Woods Cemetery, and Colbert Cemetery. Local hydrology is marked by numerous branches and creeks, including the West Fork Big Bigby Creek and South Fork Saw Creek, alongside man-made features like Miller Lake Dam and Pine Lake Dam.
