About this map

Double Springs serves as the focal point of this North Alabama landscape, situated within the bounds of the William B. Bankhead National Forest. This modern record of Winston County illustrates a settlement pattern deeply rooted in rural community life, where the Winston County Courthouse anchors the county seat while numerous outlying churches and cemeteries, such as the Pleasant Hill Number Two Missionary Baptist Church Cem, remain vital landmarks.

The hydrology of the area is defined by the Sipsey Fork of the West Fork Wild and Scenic River and a dense network of tributaries including Clear Creek and Caney Creek. These waterways carve through the terrain, separated by ridges that support historic crossroads like Ashridge and Pleasant Hill. For researchers and genealogists, the map preserves the locations of many family-linked sites, from the Sutton Cem to the Cornelius Cem, providing a precise look at the geography of this enduring upland community.
