2011 Map of Cold Springs

About this map

The Lewis Smith Lake reservoir dominates the northwestern landscape of this 2011 survey, its dendritic fingers reaching deep into the drainage basins of the Sipsey Fork and Coon Creek. Moving inland from the water, the terrain transitions into a series of named ridges and hollows, including Hammonds Shinbone Mountain and Dooley Mountain. Local settlement patterns are defined by small crossroads and communities such as Ardell, Wilburn, and Powellville, often centered around family-named landmarks and rural institutions.
