2018 Map of Cox Gap

About this map

Ashville and Ragland serve as the primary hubs in this central St. Clair County landscape, which is defined by the parallel ridges of the Canoe Creek Mountains and the Beaver Creek Mountains. The terrain is characterized by a series of long valleys and gaps, such as Looney Gap and Cox Gap, which have historically dictated the placement of roads like Greensport Rd and the St Clair Co 33. These gaps provided essential passage through the otherwise formidable Shoal Creek Mountains and along Backbone Ridge.
