2011 Map of Simcoe

About this map

Duck River and its numerous tributaries, such as Copperas Branch and Two Mile Creek, define the topography of this rural Cullman County landscape. Small communities and crossroads settlements including Simcoe, Welti, and Baileytown are connected by a dense network of county roads. The area is notable for its high concentration of family and community burial grounds, from the Brindley Cemetery in the north to the Duck River Cemetery and Union Cemetery further south, providing a detailed record for genealogical study. Infrastructure such as Tanner Bridge and Thornton Bridge provide key crossings over the river, while the New Horizon Airport occupies the southeastern corner. This survey documents the persistent agricultural and residential patterns of north-central Alabama, where small-scale water management is evident at the Tommy Ege Dam and W I Walker Dam.
