About this map

Mormon Springs serves as the central point of this Monroe County landscape, situated along the winding banks of the Buttahatchee River. The topography is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Alsup Cr, Rye Cr, and Grub Springs Br, which drain the surrounding agricultural and timber lands. This area is notably dense with small family or community burial grounds, providing a significant resource for genealogical research. These sites, such as Jones Cem, Sartor Cem, and the uniquely named Moss and Reed Cem, are scattered across the terrain near old road alignments like Sartor Rd and Bartahatchie Rd. The presence of Cockerham Lake and numerous branches like Sams Br and Honoll Mill Cr reflects the well-watered nature of this region northeast of Aberdeen, where local life has long been tied to the river's floodplain and its many tributaries.
