About this map

Holly Pond and the surrounding Cullman County plateau are characterized by a dense network of county roads and numerous small rural settlements. This landscape in 2018 shows a pattern of agriculture and community life organized around historical crossings and family-named landmarks. The Duck River meanders through the central terrain, crossed by the Tanner Bridge and Thornton Bridge, while smaller tributaries like Huckleberry Br and Two Mile Cr drain the fields.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds, including Simcoe Cem, New Hope Number 2 Cem, and Mount Olive Cem, often located near crossroads like Simcoe and Berlin. The presence of New Horizon Airport in the south and the cluster of communities like Baileyton and Baileytown reflect the enduring nature of these small Alabama towns. Small bodies of water such as Shaw Lake and Twin Fork Lake dot the countryside, providing focal points in this largely agricultural region.
