About this map

Haynes and Vida anchor the northern reaches of this Autauga County landscape, where the primary corridor of Us-82 cuts diagonally across a terrain defined by shifting creek beds and small rural clusters. The map reveals a high concentration of ancestral burial grounds, including the Big Springs Cem near the northern boundary and the King Cem further south near Independence. These locations, alongside the Jones Cem and Deramus Cem, provide critical touchpoints for family historians tracing the early settlement patterns of this Alabama interior.

Waterways like Little Mulberry Cr and Swift Cr dictate the local topography, with roads such as Old Hillside Rd and Beaver Creek Rd winding through the elevations. The settlement of Joffre sits to the east, while Vida Junction marks a key intersection point along the highway. This survey documents the persistent rural character of the region, where legacy landholdings and small communities remain centered around historical transport routes and drainage basins like Mill Cr and Sand Br.
