About this map

The Lawrence Oil and Gas Field dominates the northern landscape of this Lawrence County area, where extraction infrastructure meets the drainage basins of Muddy Cr and Indian Cr. The land is defined by a dense network of rural roads and a high concentration of burial sites, including the centrally located Sumner Cem and several outlying locations like Hopewell Cem and Shiloh Cem. This distribution suggests a long-settled agricultural community with family and parish ties stretching across the countryside.

Outdoor recreation and conservation are centered at Red Hills State Park Lake, featuring the Veterans Point Picnic Area and Raccoon Ridge Campground. The terrain rises toward Red Hill, providing a distinct landmark in an otherwise stream-intersected plain. Numerous small waterways, such as Crabapple Cr, Raccoon Cr, and Seed Cr, create a complex hydrologic pattern that dictated the placement of early homesteads and cemeteries like the Immaculate Conception Cem and Olive Branch Cem.
