2018 Map of Caddo

About this map

Caddo and the surrounding Lawrence County uplands are defined by a complex drainage network flowing toward the Tennessee River valley. The landscape is characterized by prominent elevations such as Chicken Foot Mtn and Bald Knob, with deep incisions like Tanyard Hollow and Ivy Hollow providing local relief. This 2018 survey reveals a rural settlement pattern where communities like Midway and Harmony are interconnected by an extensive network of county roads. The importance of local water sources is evident in the naming of Chalybeate Springs and the numerous named branches, such as Fish Pond Br and Blowing Spring Br, which carve through the terrain. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites preserved here, including Morris Chapel Cem and Sivley Cem, alongside family-named landmarks like Goat Bluff and Bates Mtn. The map's detail provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and the persistent geographical features that have anchored this Alabama community for generations.
