2011 Map of Big A Mountain

About this map

Big A Mountain anchors this portion of Russell County, marking a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep creek hollows. The settlement pattern follows the drainage networks of Hurricane Creek, Ball Creek, and Thompson Creek, where small communities like Council, Venia, and Rasnake sit tucked between the high ground of Sandy Ridge and Fletcher Ridge. This topography created isolated pockets of settlement, evident in the high density of family burial grounds such as Stinson Cemetery, Lockhart Cemetery, and McGlothlin Cemetery that dot the hillsides near nearly every major branch.
