2019 Map of Prichard

About this map

Prichard and the surrounding borderlands of the Big Sandy River are captured here during a period of modern transit and deep-rooted family history. The topography is defined by the sharp divides between the river valley and the high ridges of Crabtree Hill and Cyrus Mountain Dr. The transportation corridor is anchored by the CSX Transportation rail line and the Tolsia Hwy, which connect small communities like Zelda and Hubbardstown. For the genealogist, the map is an exceptional record of family burial grounds scattered across the hollows, including the Blair- Hatton Cem, Damron Cem, and the remote Billups Gap Cem. The landscape remains etched with legacy names such as Puckett Hollow and Belcher Hollow, revealing a persistent settlement pattern where residences hug the narrow runs and creek beds like Whites Cr and Hurricane Cr.
