2010 Map of Moll Creek

About this map

Banners Corner and Mew serve as quiet anchors for this landscape in Russell County, which is defined by an extraordinarily dense concentration of family burial grounds and small mountain settlements. Genealogists will find a wealth of data points here, as the terrain is peppered with dozens of named sites such as Fraley Cemetery, Saddler Cemetery, and Culbertson Cemetery. The map reveals a specialized local geography where nearly every ridge and hollow bears a family name, including Osborne Hollow and Minton Hollow. Drainage patterns follow the deep folds of the land, with Copper Creek and Big Moccasin Creek cutting through the southern valleys, while Little Copper Creek and Meade Creek navigate the central ridges. The presence of tiny locales like Point Truth and Lawsons Store suggests a community structure built around narrow mountain passes and crossroads, preserved here in the first decade of the 21st century.
