About this map

Key Underwood Coondog Memorial Park and the associated Coondog Cemetery serve as a unique landmark in this corner of Colbert County, south of the Barton and Cherokee settlements. The landscape is defined by its numerous springs and ridges, with Watson Spring and Denton Spring feeding the drainage systems of Buzzard Roost Creek and Williams Branch.

Tracing the rural road network reveals the importance of historical centers like Newsome Springs, which is surrounded by several burial grounds including Old Newsom Springs Cemetery. Northward, the terrain shifts toward more prominent elevations like Sand Mountain and Wildcat Mountain. The northern corridor follows Us-72 and the Old Lee Highway, connecting the community of Barton with the surrounding cemeteries and hollows that define this section of the Alabama uplands.
