2024 Map of Morgan Springs

About this map

Morgan Springs and Folsom anchor this landscape along the border of Hale and Perry counties. The area is defined by its extensive collection of family and community burial grounds, including Griffin Cem, Harper Cem, and Walthill Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this part of Alabama. The terrain is deeply carved by a network of waterways, most notably Big Brush Creek in the north and the meandering Bogue Chitto Creek in the east. These drainages, along with Big Prairie Creek, have historically dictated the placement of rural roads like Griffin Cemetery Rd and Mule Barn Rd. This map captures the persistent rural character of the region, where land divisions follow the Public Land Survey System lines of t20n r6e and surrounding townships, maintaining a settlement pattern focused on small crossroads and family landholdings.
