1948 Map of Caddo

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Caddo serves as a small rural hub in Lawrence County, Alabama, surrounded by a landscape defined by significant topographic relief and numerous family-named landmarks. The terrain transitions from the elevations of Chicken Foot Mountain and Bates Mountain in the northwest to the complex drainage systems of Shoals Creek and its branches in the south. The area is dotted with small country churches that served as community anchors, including New Antioch Ch, Harmony Ch, and Sulphur Springs Church. Many of these congregations are paired with local burial grounds like the Sivley Cem and Vaughan Cem, providing a detailed record for genealogical research. The presence of Midway Sch and distinctive natural features like Goat Bluff and Penitentiary Hole suggests a well-established, though dispersed, rural society. The northern edge of the map is clipped by the Southern railroad, hinting at the transport links connecting this highland region to the broader Tennessee Valley.
