About this map

The State Line between Alabama and Tennessee bisects the northern reaches of this landscape, where small settlements like Fisk and Skinem are scattered across a complex network of waterways. The Hazel Green community serves as a central hub, anchored by the Hazel Green Post Office, while the agricultural character of the region is underscored by numerous family-named burial grounds. Genealogists will find a wealth of data in these sites, including the Welbourn-King Cemetery, James Moore Cemetery, and the Pruit-McCaa Cemetery.

Water power and natural springs shaped early industry and local life here, evidenced by landmarks such as Bucks Mill and Keys Mill along the Flint River. The south-flowing Brier Fork Flint River and its tributaries, including Copeland Creek and Slate Rock Branch, carve through the terrain, connecting outlying areas like Sulphur Springs to the more developed crossroads. This survey provides a meticulous record of the road network and property landmarks that defined Madison County at the start of the 21st century.
