2011 Map of Witter

About this map

War Eagle Creek and its many winding tributaries define the topography of this Madison County landscape, where deep hollows and high ridges dictate the local road network. The small settlements of Aurora and Witter serve as the primary hubs, connected by a web of county routes and state roads that trace the natural contours of the land. This 2011 survey reveals a high density of family and community landmarks, particularly evident in the naming of topographical features like Granny Paddin Hollow, Slow Tom Hollow, and Pennywinkle Hollow. Several burial sites, including Jackson Creek Cemetery and Captain Smiths Cemetery, are preserved on the map, providing essential location data for genealogists. The terrain is marked by significant elevations such as Moore Mountain and Nubbin Ridge, which overlook the creek valleys and the agricultural parcels tucked between them.
