2012 Map of Flora

About this map

The Big Black River forms a winding natural boundary at the northwestern edge of this 2012 survey, shaping a landscape of lowlands and creek drainages in Madison County. The settlement of Flora serves as the central hub, situated near the intersection of local routes and surrounding family cemeteries such as Flora Cem and Fearns Chapel Cem. To the north, the communities of Vernon and Kearney Park appear as residential clusters amidst a patchwork of small lakes and seasonal streams like Balfour Cr and Burnt Corn Cr. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the area, including the Balfour-Gartley Cem and Smith Chapel Cem. Transport and utility are evidenced by local aviation strips like E E Lane Airport and Root Hog Airport, reflecting the rural character of the region as it transitioned into the early 21st century.
