About this map

The Mulberry Fork carves a deep path through this section of the Cumberland Plateau, serving as the natural boundary between Cullman and Blount counties. The landscape is defined by its ridge-and-valley topography, featuring prominent elevations such as Barefoot Mtn, Huffman Mtn, and Hayden Mtn. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its density of small family and community burial grounds, including the Self Family Cem, Tedder Cem, and Ashley Cem, as well as the larger Hayden Cem-Northwest and Hayden Cem-Southeast.

Small settlements like Blount Springs, Hayden, and Garden City are established near key transit routes and water sources. A variety of springs, including Sulphur Spring, Cold Spring, and Chalybeate Spring, indicate the area's geological character and its history as a destination for mineral waters. Modern infrastructure is represented by the corridor near Black Bottom, while rural traditions persist at locations such as Union Hill Cem at Moody Town and Ricetown Chapel Cem.
