Sand Mountain dominates the western half of this DeKalb County landscape, where the plateau surface supports established communities like Geraldine, Skirum, and Crossville. The terrain is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide, which separates the drainages of Scarham Creek flowing northwest from the parallel ridges and valleys to the southeast. Here, the land drops away into Big Wills Valley and Dugout Valley, creating a distinct contrast between the broad upland farming areas and the narrow, tucked-away corridors of Little Sand Valley Creek.
