About this map

Blountsville Valley serves as the central corridor for this 1969 survey, where the Huntsville Meridian cuts directly through the heart of Blountsville. The town is the primary hub of activity, featuring a concentrated layout around its High Sch and municipal water infrastructure. The surrounding landscape is defined by the significant parallel ridges of Middle Ridge and Hamilton Mountain, which channel local waterways toward the Locust Fork and Mulberry Fork.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local landmarks, including numerous rural congregations such as Antioch Ch, Oak Grove Ch, and Mt Joy Ch. The survey documents small, established communities and family-named features like Mountain Grove, Liberty, and Stevens Bend, providing a clear view of the settlement patterns and land use in this part of Blount County before late-century development altered the rural character.
