2010 Map of Union Hill

About this map

Lester anchors the northeast corner of this landscape, where the Lester Post Office serves a rural network of family-named roads and cemeteries. The terrain is defined by a dense web of watercourses, including the Bridgeforth Branch and Sugar Creek, which are segmented by elevations like Hickory Ridge. The presence of numerous small burial grounds, such as Hesters Chapel Cemetery, McCravy Cemetery, and Union Hill Cemetery, provides significant data for genealogists tracing local families across the Alabama-Tennessee borderlands. Transportation patterns follow natural contours, with routes like County Line Rd and Lauderdale County 518 connecting scattered farmsteads. Engineered features like Enon Dam and named springs such as Gray Spring and Band Mill Spring indicate the long-standing importance of water management in this agricultural and timber-producing region.
