2021 Map of Caulfield

About this map

Caulfield and the surrounding rural landscape of Howell County are defined by a complex network of springs and hollows. The terrain is deeply dissected by drainages like Bennetts Bayou and Mirey Fork, which have shaped the settlement patterns of small communities such as Leota, Egypt Grove, and Hocomo. Local genealogy is well-documented through several family and community burial grounds, including the Amy Union Chapel Cem and Shady Grove Cem. The map reveals the intricate water resources of the region, from named points like Limekiln Spring and Rattlesnake Spring to numerous hollows like Wildcat Hollow and Scofield Hollow, illustrating how the physical geography dictated the placement of roads and homesteads throughout the county.
