About this map

Westpoint sits at the convergence of several drainages in Lawrence County, including Factory Creek and Chisholm Creek, serving as a focal point for the surrounding hollows and ridges. This 2016 survey illustrates a landscape defined by its many named hollows—such as Happy Hollow, Melton Hollow, and John McGee Hollow—which reflect generations of family residency and local geography. The mapping of the Wayne Co Lawrence Co boundary running north-to-south provides a clear view of the political divisions cutting through this creek-veined territory.

Genealogists and local historians can trace numerous community landmarks, including several burial grounds like Old West Point Cem, Bethlehem Cem, and Rochelle Cem. Smaller settlements and locations such as Lodi, Chinubee, and Pinkney are clearly identified, alongside distinctive topographic features like Boarding House Hill and Shakerag Ridge. The map documents a dense network of local routes, including Collinwood Rd and Waterloo Rd, which connect these rural points across the complex system of branches and springs.
