About this map

Blountsville sits at a geographic crossroads in northern Alabama where the waters of Blue Springs Creek and the Locust Fork define the valley floor. This 2011 survey documents a landscape of established rural communities and family-named landmarks, ranging from the settlement at Joy in the west to Royal in the east. The map provides significant genealogical value through its detailed marking of local burial grounds, including the Blountsville Cemetery, Fowler Springs Cemetery, and the Blackwood-Cornelius Cemetery.

Hydrology dominates the terrain, with several man-made features such as Donald Smith Lake Dam and the Spring Valley Ponds Dam supporting local agriculture and recreation. The geography is punctuated by significant rises like Hamilton Mountain and Tater Knob, while smaller neighborhoods such as Pine Acres and Five Points illustrate the modern residential patterns of Blount County. Notable community hubs like the Mountain Grove Church and the Blountsville Post Office serve as anchors for the surrounding area.
