2014 Map of Morgan Springs

About this map

Morgan Springs and Folsom anchor this rural landscape in western Alabama, where the border between Hale Co and Perry Co follows the local topography. This 2014 survey captures a region defined by its creeks and cemeteries, illustrating a long-established pattern of small family and community burial grounds. From Griffin Cem in the north to the Turpin Cem near Curry in the south, these sites are often situated near the headwaters of drainage systems like Polecat Cr and Big Brush Cr. The road network, including the winding Al-14, connects these scattered settlements across the watershed of Bogue Chitto Cr. A man-made intervention in this hydrologic system is visible at Watershed Structure Number Twelve, which manages the flow of Big Prairie Cr as it moves toward the Hale County line.
