2010 Map of Boaz

About this map

Boaz serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Richland County, where the topography is defined by a complex network of ridges and drainage basins. The area is marked by numerous named hollows, including Core Hollow, Fox Hollow, and Gault Hollow, which demonstrate the deeply dissected terrain typical of the region. This 2010 survey highlights a robust dairy and stock farming economy, with numerous family-owned operations like Silver Maple Dairy Farm and Springdale Stock and Dairy Farm distributed across the ridges of West Ridge and Maple Ridge. Cultural history is preserved in several rural burial grounds such as Saint Mathews Catholic Cemetery and the Five Points Cemetery. The drainage of West Branch Mill Creek and Byrds Creek provides the primary hydrological structure, with the Mill Creek 3 D-31.11 Dam managing local water levels near Valley Spring Farm.
