2021 Map of Poplar Springs

About this map

William B. Bankhead National Forest covers the central portion of this Winston County landscape, where the deeply carved drainages of Clear Creek and Blackwater Cr define the topography. The map reveals a high density of small rural cemeteries and churches, often bearing the names of early family settlements like the Kelly Mill Cem or Barnes Cem. The area around Double Springs and the crossroads of Poplar Springs shows a pattern of high-ridge development, with winding roads following the contours above steep-sided hollows like Masher Br and Otter Br. Distinctive terrain features such as Bald Rock and the Wildcat Swamp indicate a varied environment, while community hubs are anchored by local congregations at Old Union Missionary Baptist Church Cem and Ashbank Freewill Baptist Church Cem.
