2020 Map of Henson Springs

About this map

Henson Springs sits as a primary landmark in this survey of northwest Alabama, positioned near the Buttahatchee River as it winds through the southern reaches of the quadrangle. The map documents a deeply interconnected network of family legacies, evidenced by the numerous burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including the Cantrell Family Cem, Crump Cem, and Henson Springs Cem. In the northeast, the outskirts of Hamilton appear near the Fulton Bridge, where local transit and water resources converge. The landscape is defined by its drainages, with Hamilton Mill Cr and Factory Cr carving through the northern sections. This 2020 record captures the enduring rural character of the area where the Marion and Lamar county line bisects the territory, preserving the names of local landmarks like the Henson Spring itself and Liberty Cem.
