2014 Map of Boaz

About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide cuts through this portion of Marshall and Etowah counties, defining the complex hydrology of the Sand Mountain plateau. The urban centers of Boaz and Albertville dominate the northern half of the sheet, where established residential grids meet industrial zones and the Snead State Community College campus. In the rural southern sections, the landscape transitions into a series of distinctive geological features such as Bristow Cove, Little Cove, and Jordan Gap. Numerous family and community burial grounds, including Hillcrest Cem, Beulah Cem, and Red Apple Cem, are distributed across the countryside, offering vital points of reference for genealogical research. The transportation network is anchored by Us-431, which links the larger settlements to smaller communities like Sardis City, Mountainboro, and Whitesville.
