junction of Balch and Hwy 72), MADISON COUNTY ALABAMA
This map from ACME Mapper 2.1 shows the GPS of
the Pike-Sanderson Cemetery as N 34.75181 X W -86.76969.
Go west on Hwy 72 past Madison and turn north on Balch Road. Travel Balch Road
about 400 yards and the cemetery entrance is on the left. You will see the
metal cattle gate with the sign on it. There is a gravel road up to the cemetery about
200 yards west. Fletcher Cemetery an African American Cemetery is
about 300 yards southwest of this cemetery now next to Wal-Mart. The Clift
Cemetery shown on this map has been moved to the Old Madison City Cemetery. The
Holder cemetery also has been moved but to the Maplewood Cemetery in Huntsville.
The Donaldson Cem still exist but the bank above the road covering the graves is
eroding away. The Toney Cemetery on this map exist no longer best I can tell. At
least I cannot find it.
The yellow pointer denotes the location of the cemetery on the west side of
Balch Road. It is
under a grove of trees.
