About this map

Key Underwood Coondog Memorial Park highlights the unique cultural landscape of Colbert County in this 2018 survey. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges and hollows, such as Mtn Mills Ridge and Bugg Mill Hollow, which separate the agricultural lowlands from the higher elevations of Sand Mtn and Wildcat Mtn. The settlement pattern follows the established corridors of the Old Lee Hwy, connecting the communities of Cherokee and Barton.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites, including the Mountain Mills Cem and the adjacent New Newsom Springs Cem and Old Newsom Springs Cem near the waters of Newsom Springs. The complex drainage system of Buzzard Roost Cr and its tributaries like Dry Cr and Williams Br illustrates the historical reliance on local water sources in these upland coves, including Horseapple Cove and Sanderson Cove.
