Several years ago we planned a trip to LCT and I wrote the Chamber of Commerce in Fayetteville for maps and brochures of the area. I sent a small donation to cover costs and the map they sent has Fayettevile on one side and the county on the other side. the cemeteries are marked but not named. Cemetery Records of Lincoln-Moore ct by Southern Press has brief descriptions of locations. I think this is a current address for LCT Chamber of Commerce: 208 S. eEk Ave, PO Box 515, Fayetteville, TN 37334 615-433-1234 [email protected] >From: Steve Carson <[email protected]> >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: [LCT] Re: GNIS LINCOLN CO TN CEMETERY MAP >Date: Wed, 02 Aug 2006 12:57:32 -0600 > >Brenda: > >Here is how you can match up road and cemetery names using on-line >resources. > >You can download the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) maps of >all Tennessee counties at: > >http://www.tdot.state.tn.us/Maps/county/default.htm > >These maps contain the names of all the roads and the location of most >cemeteries -- however the names of the cemeteries are not given :-( > >The USGS topographic maps do contain the names of the better known >cemeteries, but they do not contain the names of roads :-(.
