About this map

Boaz and Albertville serve as the primary hubs on this plateau of Sand Mountain, where the Tennessee Valley Divide snakes through the residential and commercial landscape. The map records a high concentration of historical burial sites, including the Old Mount Vernon Cem and New Mount Vernon Cem, alongside established institutions like Snead State Community College. The terrain is defined by the contrast between the developed corridors of Albertville and the southern ridges like Aurora Mtn and Straight Mtn.

Southward, the landscape transitions into smaller communities such as New Union and Bristow Cove, where the land drops into the Little Cove. Numerous watercourses, including Slab Cr and Clear Cr, drain the plateau, while the Albertville Regional Airport-Thomas J Brumlik Field marks the modern transportation infrastructure in the northwest. This survey provides a clear view of the Marshall and Etowah county line during a period of steady residential expansion.
