2014 Map of Howard

About this map

Studdards Crossroads and the settlement of Howard anchor this portion of the Alabama landscape where the boundaries of Walker and Fayette counties meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses including the North River, Wolf Creek, and George Creek, which carve through the hilly region marked by summits like Cooner Mountain and Tittle Mountain. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed in its recording of family and community burial grounds, such as Elm Grove Cemetery, Johnston Cemetery, and Whitley Cemetery. The preservation of labels like Johnson School House Cemetery and the Pleasant Grove School suggests the locations of former civic centers. This modern survey reflects a landscape where rural traditions persist, with old homestead names like Moore Cemetery and Harris Cemetery still marking the topography alongside features such as Frozen Hollow and Gum Suck Hollow.
