2022 Map of Cardwell

About this map

Tatham Springs and the meandering Chaplin River define the northern reaches of this landscape, where the terrain breaks into numerous sharp ridges and narrow creek valleys. Small settlements like Sharpsville, Cardwell, and Battle are connected by a network of rural routes such as Royalty Ridge Rd and Tatum Ridge Rd. The map is particularly dense with small family and community burial grounds, including the Royalty Cem, Masters Cem, and Salzman Cem, reflecting a long history of generational land ownership along the Washington and Mercer county line. The drainage pattern of Glens Creek and Three Lick Creek illustrates the complex topography that has shaped local agriculture and road placement for decades.
