Boaz and the southern reaches of Albertville anchor this 2011 topographic survey, revealing a landscape defined by the intersection of early settlement roots and modern infrastructure. The area is dense with genealogical markers, including numerous burial sites such as Old Mount Vernon Cemetery, Hillcrest Cemetery, and Red Apple Cemetery. These sites are often positioned near established transport routes like Beulah Rd and McDowell Cir. To the south, the terrain shifts significantly as the plateau gives way to the ridges of Aurora Mountain. This southern section is characterized by notable natural passes including Lackey Gap, Jordan Gap, and Lawson Gap, which have historically influenced movement through the region. Small communities and named locales like Mountainboro, Union, and Whitesville are scattered across the map, situated along the drainages of Slab Creek, Clear Creek, and Little Cove Creek.
