About this map

The William B. Bankhead National Forest defines the southwestern corner of this landscape, where the terrain begins its ascent into notable elevations like Friendship Mtn and Cedar Mtn. This area of Morgan County is characterized by a series of small, long-established communities and rural hubs, including Danville, Neel, and Pumpkin Center. The drainage pattern is complex, with No Business Cr and Johnson Chapel Cr winding through the central lowlands toward the larger West Flint Creek in the northwest.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial sites such as Johnson Chapel Cem, Stover Cem, and Orr Cem, which reflect the generations of settlement in this part of Alabama. The eastern edge of the map shows the westward expansion of Hartselle, where the topography levels out at Long Bottom. The map also captures local landmarks such as Means Bridge and Stover Bridge, which served as critical crossing points for the county road network.
