HOWELL
CEMETERY, GILES COUNTY - MAURY/GILES COUNTY TENNESSEE LINE
It was later determined when I visited
this cemetery that this map was marked 1/4 mile to the north. The Howell
Cemetery is actually
in Giles County at spot on this map called CEM on Topographical maps and
others have is named Elkridge Cemetery. Nevertheless it is actually found at
GPS 35.4485N X -87.1316W.
On this map the cemetery is called the Elk Ridge Cemetery. It is actually
the Howell Cemetery. Also there is an African American American Cemetery
just south of here and on the other side of the road called the Flannigan
Cemetery. It is unmapped and also
further east one can see the old New Hope Cemetery also an African American
cemetery.
This Aerial view shows the cemetery in a clump of trees on the west side of
Morrow Branch Road marked here with a red check.
