2011 Map of Weathers

About this map

Kings River carves a deep path through this Madison County landscape, where the rural settlements of Reynolds, Venus, and Weathers are connected by a network of winding local routes. The area is notable for its high concentration of family and community burial grounds, including the Mount Olive Cemetery in the north and Bethel Cemetery to the south. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as Venus Mountain, Penitentiary Mountain, and Allen Knob, alongside numerous hollows that drain into Gusses Creek and Felkins Creek. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for the Eagle Gap Cemetery, Dripping Springs Cemetery, and Williams Cemetery, scattered among the drainages of Mitchell Branch and Mink Creek. This 2011 survey documents the persistent rural character of the region, where named landmarks like Cowcumber Hollow and Stone Jar Hollow reflect long-standing local nomenclature.
