About this map

Lewis Smith Lake dominates the central landscape of this Alabama quadrangle, its winding fingers creating complex shorelines that define modern-day Crane Hill and Sulphur Springs. The inundation of the Black Warrior River's Sipsey Fork and tributaries like Crooked Creek fundamentally altered the local topography, isolating former high ground into peninsulas such as Pea Ridge, Muscadine Point, and Calvert Point.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites preserved across the ridgelines, including Livingston Chapel Cem, Bethany Cem, and New Mount Zion Cem. The western edge of the map transitions into the protected timberlands of the William B. Bankhead National Forest, while the eastern portion highlights agricultural crossroads like Guthery Crossroads and Brushy Pond. The intricate network of county roads, such as Pea Ridge Rd and Sulphur Springs Rd, traces the historic routes between family homesteads and rural community centers.
