2014 Map of Hollytree

About this map

Hollytree serves as a central point of reference in this landscape defined by deep coves and sinkholes along the Madison and Jackson County line. The terrain is marked by a complex system of drainage and natural depressions, including Calloway Sinks, Keel Sinks, and Jackson Sinks. These geological features influenced local settlement patterns, where family names are preserved across numerous burial sites such as Hollytree Cemetery and Maples Cemetery. The water system is integral to the area's layout, with Dry Creek and Williams Creek carving through the valleys between Bice Mountain and Putman Mountain. Human presence is evidenced by a network of rural routes like Sharps Cove Road, which follow the contours of the land, connecting small landmarks like Sneed Spring and Hurricane Creek Watershed Lake.
