About this map

The Mulberry Fork winds through this section of the Alabama hills, marking a significant geographic boundary between Gullman Co and Blount Co. The settlement of Arkadelphia serves as a central point, surrounded by family-named heights and hollows including Burt Reid Mtn, Cannon Mtn, and Wildcat Hollow. This modern survey reveals a landscape defined by its ridge-and-valley topography, where small communities like The Colony and Bremen are connected by a network of county roads that follow the natural contours of the land.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the quadrangle, such as Shelton Grove Cem, Dorsey Creek Cem, and Mount Joy Cem. The proximity of Hayden at the southeastern edge of the map highlights the transition toward more concentrated residential patterns. Numerous small waterways, including Sullivan Cr, Rice Cr, and James Cr, drain the elevated terrain into the larger river system, reflecting the persistent drainage patterns that have shaped local agriculture and settlement for generations.
