About this map

Cotaco Creek and its many branches, including Woodland Mills Creek and Six Mile Creek, carve a complex drainage pattern across this portion of northern Alabama. The landscape is defined by its prominent high points and coves, from Brindley Mountain in the northeast to the various gaps like Guyer Cove and Jackson Cove. The settlement pattern follows the lower-lying areas and ridges between these features, with small communities such as Florette, Woodland Mills, and Lynntown serving as local hubs for the surrounding farmsteads.

Local history is preserved in a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, including the Edmonson Cemetery near Potato Hill and the Blue Springs Cemetery further south. Unique landmarks like Crawford Bridge and the Red Oak Grove church provide specific points of interest for those tracing family roots in Morgan County. The terrain transitions from the heights of McAllister Mountain and Bean Mountain down into the hollows such as Stillhouse Hollow, reflecting a traditional Southern upland geography.
