HUTCHINGS CEMETERY, Carroll Road west side, MADISON COUNTY ALABAMA
This map shows the GPS of
the Hutchings Graveyard as N 34.84375 W -86.76784 inside the woodland west of
Carroll Road 90 yards
Alternate Location: Section 30, Township 2S, Range 2 West, East 1/2, North East,
North East, North East. Stated another way this cemetery is in the
640 acre northeast quad of section 30, but the northeast quad of that square 160
Acres and the
northeast quad of that square 40 acres and the northeast quad of that square 10
acres gets you
pretty close. If you divided it again it would be in the southwest quad of this
2 1/2 acres. Dividing this again would find the cemetery in the SE Quad of .625
acres. This map above illustrates that with the deepest 10 acres quad/square
illustrated being
highlighted in yellow. As you can see the cemetery is just on the southern line
of that last NE quad. It is amid a stand of trees on west side of Carroll Road
and approx. 1/8 mile south of the Dorning Road intersection with Carroll Road.
Approximately 90 yards due west into the woodland up the slope on private land.
Stand facing the gate into the property and go due west following the private
gravel road, then continue straight (due west) into the woodland and up the
slope for the balance of the 90 yards and you will see the cemetery under the
trees.
Go west out Hwy 72 to Old Railroad Bed Road and turn (right) north. Go past
Capshaw Road, then Nick Davis Road. After a few more miles turn left (west) on
Yarbrough Road. Carroll Road is the first road on the right. Take Carroll Road
north (right) and after passing Holman Road junction on the right go about
1/2 mile and start going down the hill into the Love Ditch valley. Near the
bottom on your left you will notice a gate into private property with the gate
locked. Stand facing the gate into the property and walk due west following the
private gravel road at first, then continue due west into the woodland and up
the slope for the balance of the 90 yards and you will see the cemetery under
the trees about the top of the crest.
Standing on Carroll Road and looking west at the gate into the property that contains the
Hutchings Cemetery. It is locked. One cannot drive there anyway. I took the
photo looking due west in the direction of the cemetery unseen here 90 yards
away. That thicket is not as bad as it looks unless you encounter a pack of
wolves. The chances of that are about 1 in a billion if at all. Move to your
right in the vegetation thins out but don't stray far from your "due westerly"
direction.
