HARDIN CEMETERY, (Thatch Road - E of Hwy 251), LIMESTONE COUNTY, ALABAMA
This map shows the GPS Coordinates of the Hardin Cemetery. GPS is also known
as the
Latitude and Longitude location.
From Athens go out Hwy 251 north to Thatch Road (Hwy 100,crosses I-65 at exit
361) and turn right. Just before the road turns back south look right
up the slope in the cattle field at the distant clump of trees. Also there is a pond
northwest of the cemetery and a small barn like building just behind the
cemetery. It is not fenced and cattle are free to trample the cemetery as they
wish. So what do you want, cattle trampling the growth down or installing a
fence and run away vegetation destroying the cemetery. Both the result of an
abandoned cemetery. Cemeteries require maintenance.
This aerial view above
shows the cemetery pointed out with a red check under the grove of trees, south
of Thatch Road. The ridges seen here are soil conservation works, formed to trap water run
off. These are to prevent soil erosion.
