2014 Map of Trimble

About this map

Lewis Smith Lake dominates the topography of this portion of Cullman County, its complex, winding shoreline creating numerous peninsulas such as Catalina Point and Dogwood Point. The landscape is a mix of these extensive waterways and small rural communities like Trimble and Loretto, which are interconnected by a dense network of county roads. For genealogists and local historians, the map is a significant record of the area's rural heritage, noting several family and community burial grounds including Sharon Grove Cem, Brushy Creek Cem, and Kinneys Grove Cem. The settlement pattern follows the high ground between the various creek branches, with Good Hope and Dodge City serving as more concentrated hubs of activity away from the immediate lakefront. The presence of Schmmuck Mtn and Bailey Mtn provides a clear view of the elevation changes that define the drainage basins of Ryan Creek and Simpson Cr.
