2010 Map of Shive

About this map

Cowhouse Creek and its tributary Little Cowhouse Creek define the northern drainage of this Hamilton County landscape, where small rural communities are connected by a network of farm-to-market and county roads. The settlement of Schoolerville sits near the northern boundary, while West Point and Shive occupy the western and central reaches. The terrain is marked by numerous draws and hollows such as Snake Hollow and Barner Hollow, leading toward prominent elevations like Little Round Mountain and Vista Mountain. For genealogists, the map is a primary source for locating family burial grounds, including the Little Cowhouse Cemetery and New Hope Cemetery. To the south, the landscape shifts toward water management with Caldwell Lake Number 1 and Caldwell Lake Number 2, both featuring marked dams.
