About this map

Limestone Creek and its many tributaries, including Copperrun Branch, Davis Branch, and Leslie Branch, define the hydrology of this Madison County landscape just after the turn of the 21st century. The map reveals a dense network of local family history through its numerous burial sites, ranging from the Bethel Cemetery in the southwest to the Powers Cemetery and Carroll Cemetery in the northeast. Settlements such as Capshaw, Fairview, and Copeland are connected by a grid of rural roads like Nick Davis Rd and E Limestone Rd.

Infrastructure and community landmarks are well-documented, including the Capshaw Post Office and Harvest Post Office. Aviation interest is marked by Epps Airpark near the northern boundary, while recreation and water management are represented by Camp Helen and the Romine Lake Dam. The presence of sites like the Vasser-Pettus Cemetery and Hutchings Cemetery provides specific points of interest for genealogists tracing ancestral landholdings in this part of Alabama.
