2024 Map of Capshaw

About this map

Limestone Creek and its many tributaries, such as Leslie Branch and French Mill Creek, drain this portion of Alabama as it undergoes modern residential expansion. The map reveal a landscape where rural legacy meets contemporary growth, particularly in settlements like Fairview and Harvest. Genealogists will find a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including the Old German Cem, McCargo - Crutcher Cem, and Cain Cem. These sites, often situated near historic crossroads like Co Rd 44 and Capshaw Rd, mark the early homesteads of the region. Notable local landmarks like Center Hill and Harding Spring provide geographic anchors amidst a grid of secondary roads like Beatline Rd and Dorning Rd, which now connect the expanding outskirts of Huntsville and Athens.
