About this map

Hanceville and the surrounding Cullman County landscape are defined by a complex network of creeks and prominent ridges. The terrain transitions from the elevations of Stout Mountain and Buttermilk Mountain in the west toward the Broylen River in the northeast. This era of development is visible through the concentration of community hubs like Johnsons Crossing, White City, and Center Community, which are linked by an extensive system of county roads and the Interstate 65 corridor.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial grounds, including the Good Hope Cemetery, Hopewell Cemetery, and Laodicea Cemetery. The map also captures local civic landmarks such as the James C Bailey Baseball Stadium and the Hanceville Post Office. Along the western edge, the Wallace Hathcock Dam creates Wallace Hathcock Lake, marking a point where human engineering has altered the local drainage patterns of Bavar Creek and Simpson Creek.
