2018 Map of Fisk

About this map

The borderlands of Madison County, Alabama, and Lincoln County, Tennessee, are defined here by a dense network of family cemeteries and small rural settlements along the Flint River. This survey captures the agrarian character of Hazel Green and Fisk, where local history is preserved in names like the Welbourn-King Cem, James Moore Cem, and the Pruit-McGaa Cem. The landscape is etched by numerous watercourses, including the Brier Fork Flint River and Slate Rock Br, which historically supported local milling operations such as Bucks Mill and Keys Mill. The frequency of burial sites, from the Saint Rebecca Cem to the Edmund Townsend Cem, provides a significant record for genealogists tracing families established in these townships. While the small communities of Skinem and Bucks Mill persist, the area remains largely defined by its natural springs, such as Sulphur Springs and Tanner Spring.
