2014 Map of Hodges

About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide cuts through this corner of northwestern Alabama, shaping a landscape of deep hollows and winding creek branches. The settlements of Hodges and Hackleburg anchor a region defined by its complex topography, where the Bear Cr Reservoir and its numerous tributaries, such as Bull Mountain Cr and Lawler Mill Br, flow through the terrain. A dense network of local cemeteries, including Holly Springs Cem, Mt Carmel Cem, and Mt Zion Cem, are distributed across the countryside, offering significant data points for genealogical research. Prominent natural landmarks like Rock Bridge and Buzzard Bluff stand alongside early 21st-century infrastructure, while the small community of Pigeye and the Railroad Pond provide evidence of the local history and industry that once thrived in the area between the Franklin and Marion county lines.
