2024 Map of Toney

About this map

Brier Fork Flint River and its numerous tributaries, including Banyan Swamp Creek and Beaverdam Creek, define the fertile landscape of the Alabama-Tennessee border. This modern survey reveals a region of Madison County characterized by scattered rural settlements such as Ready Crossing, Carter Grove, and Bobo. The presence of Old Railroad Bed Rd suggests a former transportation corridor that once linked these communities. Genealogy interests are well-served by the density of burial sites, ranging from established markers like Elkwood Cem and New Sharon Cem to more contemporary additions like The Good Earth Burial Ground. Small-scale aviation is also a notable feature of the local economy and culture, evidenced by Hazel Green Acres Airport and the Elkwood Airpark. The area around Toney and Madison Crossroads shows a transition toward more structured residential development, though it remains framed by traditional family-named landmarks like Murphy Hill Cem and Cole Holloway Cem.
