2014 Map of Ashford

About this map

Ashford sits at the heart of this East Alabama landscape, where the local economy was long defined by its road and rail connections. The map reveals a dense network of country roads like Hurricane Rd and Cedar Springs Rd that link small rural settlements such as Barber and Pansey. For those tracing local history, several prominent burial grounds are documented, including Ashford City Cem and Union Springs Cem. The topography is shaped by numerous small drainages, with the waters of Cedar Cr and Rocky Cr winding through the terrain toward Howards Mill Cr. From the northern reaches near Hunters Cem to the southern area around Dupree, the map captures a modern view of Houston County's traditional agricultural and residential patterns.
