2014 Map of Arab

About this map

Brindley Mountain defines the northwest corner of this portrait, where the Tennessee Valley Divide snakes across the landscape near the meeting point of Marshall, Cullman, and Blount counties. This area shows the growth of Arab along Us-231 and Al-69, while preserving the footprints of long-established rural communities. To the southeast, the terrain drops toward Browns Valley and the inlet of Guntersville Lake. Genealogy and local history are anchored by numerous burial sites, from the Arab City Cem to the isolated Griffin Cem on Ben Johnson Ridge. The road network connects historic points such as Thrasher Crossroads and Johnsons Mill, illustrating the transition from agricultural outposts like Askea Grove and Scant City to the more developed corridors of the early 21st century.
