2014 Map of Jones Chapel

About this map

The western boundary of William B. Bankhead National Forest meets the rural agricultural lands of Cullman and Winston Counties in this detailed 2014 survey. This area is characterized by a high density of small community crossroads and religious landmarks, including Jones Chapel and Chances Crossroad. The landscape is heavily dissected by numerous watercourses such as Sullivan Cr, Crooked Creek, and Whetstone Cr, which have shaped the settlement patterns and road networks over generations. Genealogists will find this map particularly valuable for its precise documentation of numerous rural burial grounds, ranging from the Nesmith Methodist Church Cem and Sardis Number 2 Missionary Baptist Church Cem to smaller family-named sites like Pine Ridge Cem and Lebanon Cem. The map illustrates a modern rural Alabama landscape that remains deeply tied to its historical centers at Nesmith, Central, and Logan.
