2018 Map of Elkmont

About this map

Elkmont and the surrounding Tennessee-Alabama borderlands are defined by a complex network of springs and creek hollows that once supported a thriving rural economy. The agricultural and processing history of the area is evident in legacy names like Woodfin Mill, Hays Mill, and Holland Gin, indicating the historic importance of water power and cotton processing. The landscape is dotted with numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Antioch Cem Number One, Saint Mark Cem, and Bridgforth Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogists tracing local lineages. Along the western edge, the Holt Trestle stands as a significant landmark of the rail infrastructure that connected these border communities. Small settlements like Veto, Pettusville, and Locke Crossroads provide clear evidence of early crossroads development and the persistent rural character of Limestone County.
