2022 Map of Saint Joseph

About this map

Shoal Creek carves a winding path through the borderlands of Tennessee and Alabama, anchoring a landscape defined by small settlements and family burial grounds. The community of Iron City serves as a central hub, situated near Big Spring and the Iron City Spring, reflecting a geography where natural water sources dictated early settlement patterns. To the east, Saint Joseph sits near the state line, marked by the Saint Joseph Catholic Cem and a concentration of residential streets. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous hollows, such as Prince Hollow and Tidwell Hollow, which once guided the development of local roads like Wayland Springs Rd and Railroad Bed Rd. Genealogists will find a high density of small cemeteries, including Chinubee Cem and Wolf Creek Cem, which remain as quiet indicators of the area's rural ancestry.
