2011 Map of Carlton

About this map

Carlton and Comer anchor this pocket of Madison County, where the South Fork Broad River and its numerous tributaries like Holly Creek and Clouds Creek define the local topography. This 2011 survey illustrates a rural landscape where historic family and community landmarks persist alongside modern water management features like Whitehead Lake and Otter Run Lake. Small settlements such as Paoli and Nickville are linked by a network of named roads including Comer Paoli Rd and Old Fork Cemetery Rd, reflecting the long-established transit patterns of the region. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of numerous local burial sites, including the Old Fork Cemetery, David Cemetery, and Powers Cemetery, which are scattered throughout the agricultural lands between the river forks. The presence of Smiths Store and the Steel Bridge over the Broad River further emphasizes the enduring community nodes that have served this area for generations.
