2011 Map of Quitman

About this map

Quitman sits at the southern edge of this landscape, where the road network transitions from the grid of the valley floor toward the elevation of the Boston Mountains. To the northeast, the sprawling waters of Greers Ferry Lake dominate the terrain, creating a jagged shoreline at Goff Point and filling inlets like Sweet Suck Hollow. This 2011 survey documents a mix of agricultural lowlands and rising hills, with prominent landmarks such as Pryor Mountain and Bettis Mountain overlooking the drainage of Cadron Creek. Local history is anchored by rural hubs like Pearson and Crossroads, while the Palestine Cemetery and Aldridge Cemetery provide valuable points of reference for genealogists. The map details the intricate hydrography of the region, from the winding North Fork Cadron Creek to smaller tributaries like Piney Creek and Yellow Bank Creek, reflecting the natural water systems that shaped the settlement of Cleburne County.
