2014 Map of Madrid

About this map

The town of Madrid anchors this 2014 survey of southeast Alabama, situated just north of the State Line where the local road network converges. The landscape is defined by the gentle drainage of Big Creek and Limestone Creek, with several family-named water bodies such as Registers Pond and Singletarys Pond scattered across the terrain. Numerous small settlements and historic intersections illustrate the rural heritage of Houston County, including Garrettts Crossroads, Merritts Crossroads, and the community of Rehobeth at the northern edge. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating several rural burial sites, such as Saint Phillips Cem, Sanders Cem, and Lassiter Cem. The southern reach of the sheet captures Southern Junction, showing the intersection of Al-109 and Us-231, a primary transit artery for the region.
