2024 Map of Caddo

About this map

Chalybeate Springs and the surrounding Lawrence County uplands are defined by a complex network of small cemeteries and family-named hollows that speak to the area's deep settlement history. This modern survey reveals a landscape where traditional community centers like Harmony and Caddo persist alongside rugged geographic landmarks such as Chicken Foot Mtn and Goat Bluff. The topography is heavily influenced by the drainage patterns of Big Shoal Creek and Milligan Branch, which carve through the terrain near Milligan Hill. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites, including Chalybeate Springs Cem, Old Morris Chapel Cem, and Midway Memorial Gardens, reflecting the generational continuity of this rural Alabama district. The presence of Saltwell Bottom and various springs like Blowing Spring further illustrates the intersection of water resources and early homesteading in this portion of the Tennessee Valley region.
