2019 Map of Saint Joseph

About this map

Shoal Creek meanders through this borderland topography where Lawrence and Wayne Counties meet at the Tennessee-Alabama line. The settlement pattern is defined by small clusters and family landmarks, with Wayland Springs and Iron City serving as primary hubs in the valley. Numerous cemeteries such as Hollis Cem, Wayland Springs Cem, and Chinubee Cem provide a dense record of the area's genealogical history. The landscape is deeply incised by drainages like Prince Hollow and Tidwell Hollow, while the community of St. Joseph anchors the eastern edge of the survey near the Saint Joseph Catholic Cem. The presence of several springs, including Iron City Spring and Powell Spring, suggests the historical importance of natural water sources for these rural homesteads and agricultural operations.
