About this map

Chalybeate Springs and the surrounding Lawrence County uplands are characterized by a dense network of small creek drainages and family cemeteries. Located between the Tennessee Valley to the north and the Bankhead National Forest to the south, the area around Caddo maintains a traditional rural landscape defined by land-survey sections and small crossroads communities like Midway and Harmony.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here, with numerous small burial grounds such as Vaughan Cem, Penny Cem, and Thrasher Cem situated near historical homesteads. The terrain is marked by distinctive local landmarks, including Bald Knob, Goat Bluff, and Chicken Foot Mtn. Water sources such as Sulphur Spring and Ready Spring suggest the area's history as a place of settlement around reliable mineral springs. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the winding paths of Big Shoal Cr and its tributaries, while the northern section is drained by Mallard Cr and Prairie Cr.
