Rainsville and Fort Payne anchor this survey of the Lookout Mountain and Sand Mountain plateau. The landscape is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide, which separates the drainages of Town Creek flowing northwest from Big Wills Creek in the southeast. This geography created a corridor for settlement and industry along the valley floor, evidenced by the cluster of mills like Killian Mill and Hughes Mill and the concentration of mountain gaps including Chavies Gap and Chitwood Gap.
