2014 Map of Holly Pond

About this map

Mulberry Fork winds through the heart of this landscape, cutting across the southern reaches of the Tennessee Valley Divide. This 2014 survey documents the established agricultural and residential patterns of northeast Alabama, where rural communities like Holly Pond and Baileyton sit amidst a network of county roads and creek valleys. The terrain is marked by the Blountsville Valley and Big Spring Valley, showcasing the complex drainage systems that feed into Pan Cr, Copeland Cr, and Blue Springs Cr. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in family-history landmarks, preserving the locations of numerous community burial grounds such as Brooklyn Cem, Pine Grove Cem, and New Harmony Cem. These sites, along with smaller settlements like Union Grove and Rock Springs, reflect the deep-rooted settlement history of the Cullman Co and Blount Co borderlands.
