2020 Map of Brooksville

About this map

Sand Mountain dominates the landscape of this Blount and Marshall County border region, where the Tennessee Valley Divide separates north-flowing waters from the southern drainage systems. The map reveals a high concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Summit Cem, Alldredge Cem, and Nixons Chapel Cem, which anchor the small settlements that dot the plateau and valleys. The southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the Locust Fork of the Black Warrior River, fed by numerous tributaries including Booker Br and Big Spring Cr. Small crossroads like Brooksville, McLarty, and Snead serve as the primary nodes of habitation. Geographic features such as Cold Springs Gap, Hobson Gap, and Gilbreth Gap provide essential passage through the elevated terrain of Dividing Ridge, illustrating how the physical relief of the mountain has historically dictated the path of local roads and settlement patterns.
