2015 Map of Nettleton

About this map

Nettleton sits at the western edge of this landscape where Lee and Monroe counties meet, serving as a primary settlement node amidst a network of small family cemeteries and creek drainages. The terrain is defined by the southward flow of Wolf Creek and Coupenna Creek toward Town Creek, while the eastern portion of the quadrangle follows the Tombigbee River corridor. Genealogists can identify numerous local burial sites including Grey Cemetery, Providence Cemetery, and Atkins Cemetery. Settlement patterns follow the transition from the town center of Nettleton to smaller communities like Central Grove and Bigbee. The geography is further marked by legacy infrastructure like Old Highway 6 and various drainage features such as Millhouse Ditch, which reflect the area's agricultural management and historical transport routes.
