2014 Map of Cold Springs

About this map

The waters of Lewis Smith Lake reach into the northwestern corner of this Cullman County landscape, where the inlets of Bear Pen Br and Long Br define the local topography near Ardell. This 2014 survey documents the rural character of the region, anchored by small settlements like Cold Springs and Wilburn. The terrain is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and hollows, such as John R Hollow, Mary Ann Hollow, and Blevins Hollow, reflecting a long history of local land use and residency. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of community burial grounds, including Addington Chapel Cem, McKinley Chapel Cem, and Shady Grove Cem. To the south, the Sipsey Fork flows toward the Walker County line, passing geographic features like Leeth Hill and the appropriately named Banking Grounds near Powellville.
