About this map

Hodges serves as the central hub of this northern Alabama landscape, situated where local routes converge near the Hodges Post Office and the Hodges Cemetery. The topography is defined by the winding course of Bear Creek and its many tributaries, such as Skirum Creek and Bull Mountain Creek, which carve out distinct hollows like Rough Leg Hollow. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure appears in the Pilot Hill Gas Field to the west and the Hodges Dam near Railroad Pond.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of burial sites scattered across the countryside, including the Old Lion Cemetery, McCurley Cemetery, and Mount Carmel Cemetery. The map also documents smaller settlements and named junctions like Atwood, Pigeye, and Wiginton, providing a record of community placement and road networks including Co HWY-31 and Co HWY-187 before significant modern changes.
