About this map

Blountsville serves as a central hub in this northern Alabama landscape, where the intersection of Us-231 and Al-79 dictates the modern flow of travel through the valley. The map documents a deeply rooted community structure, evidenced by the numerous small settlements and burial grounds that dot the terrain, including Mountain Grove to the west and Cleveland to the south. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks such as Blountsville Cem, Oak Grove Cem, and the Blackwood Cornelius Cem.

Water and elevation define the region's character, from the winding path of Locust Fork in the southeast to prominent rises like Hamilton Mtn and Berry Mtn. The landscape is interspersed with agricultural and industrial features, including Spring Valley Farms Ponds and several named lakes like Donald Smith Lake and Osborne Lake. Small hollows and knobs, such as Stave Mill Hollow and Tater Knob, suggest the localized geography that once shaped rural life and industry in Blount County.
