About this map

Snead and the surrounding Blount County countryside are defined by the winding course of the Locust Fork, which carves through a landscape of ridges and valleys. This 2018 survey captures a contemporary rural layout where longstanding family landmarks and historic crossings remain central to the geography. The presence of the Horton Mill Bridge at Hortons Mill and Wards Bridge downstream indicates the historical importance of the river for local transportation and industry.

Settlements like Clarence, Susan Moore, and Wynnville are connected by a network of county roads that navigate the complex terrain of Sand Mountain and Berry Mtn. Significant genealogical sites are scattered throughout the quadrangle, including the Gibbs Chapel Cem, Lamb Cem, and Mount Moriah Cem, marking the enduring heritage of the region's farming communities. The Tennessee Valley Divide cuts through the northern portion of the map, a quiet geographical marker in a region otherwise dominated by the hollows and bends of the Little Warrior River system.
