About this map

Little Bear Creek and its many winding tributaries, including Rocky Branch and Massey Branch, dominate this landscape in Franklin County. The topography is defined by significant elevation changes, noted by features like Horseshoe Bend and the steep Jacobs Ladder Bluff. The settlement pattern is characterized by scattered small communities and named crossroads, connected by a network of county roads such as Co Rd 524 and Old Cotton Gin Rd.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the terrain, from the Old Nauvoo Cem and Dempsey Cem in the north to the Baggett Cem and Overton Cem in the south. These landmarks, alongside historic place names like Guinn Cross Roads and Old Nauvoo, provide a clear view of the rural family-centered development in this part of Alabama. The map also records numerous springs and hollows, such as Hickory Mill Hollow and Scott Hollow, which historically served as vital water sources for local homesteads.
