Try ordering a county map for Lee. They will show where known cemeteries are in their county. or try using the internet map sites: Duane Mills from Claiborne County site sent this: http://geonames.usgs.gov/gnishome.html 1. Click on the United States and Territories 2. A query form will come up. Choose location. I chose TN and Grainger Co. 2. Don´t bother to type in the feature name you are looking for. Go down to feature type, and choose cemeteries, for example. There are many other options such as Church, Valley etc. 3. 156 cemeteries were listed by name and location. You can then choose among options for print, download etc. The fifth down (Show Feature Location) will actually present you with a map of the US with the location of the feature and another map showing the general location with reference to other features (towns) around. You can even zoom in if desired with the links at the bottom. 4. You can print out or download all maps in any detail you pick.
