1950 Map of Caddo

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Caddo serves as a central point of settlement in this Lawrence County landscape, where the Southern railroad line cuts through the northeastern corner near Fox Creek. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevations and depressions, notably Chicken Foot Mountain and Bates Mountain in the northwest, and the distinctive Goat Bluff overlooking the drainage of Mallard Creek. A network of small community institutions—ranging from the Morris Chapel and New Antioch Ch to the Midway Sch—illustrates a rural society organized around crossroads and local congregations. Geologic features such as the Ivy Hollow Cave and Penitentiary Hole suggest a karst landscape where water has carved into the limestone, creating natural landmarks like the Blowing Spring and Ready Spring. The distribution of family burial grounds, including the Clardy Cem and Vaughan Cem, provides a detailed record of local genealogy scattered across the ridges and hollows.
