About this map

Sand Mountain dominates the western half of this Marshall County survey, providing the high-ground foundation for the growing communities of Albertville and Boaz. The landscape is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide, which separates the north-flowing waters of Bitty Br and Slab Cr from the southward drainages of Yellow Br and Clear Cr. This high plateau region is a hub of education and transport, home to Snead State Community College and the Albertville Regional Airport.

Tracing the southern edge towards the Etowah County line, the terrain breaks into more complex ridges and gaps. Local landmarks like Red Mtn and Straight Mtn rise above Bristow Cove and Little Cove, while gaps such as Jordan Gap and Lackey Gap offer traditional passage through the rocky elevations. The map reveals a dense network of country churches and burial grounds, including the New Mount Vernon Church Cem and Walls Chapel Cem, which anchor the smaller settlements of Union and Needmore.
