About this map

Montague Mountain and the high ridges of Summerhouse Mountain dominate this landscape on the Alabama-Tennessee border, where the Cumberland Plateau meets the Tennessee River valley. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous coves and hollows, such as Doran Cove and Abbott Hollow, reflecting a complex network of springs like Pennywinkle Spring and Abbott Spring. Mining operations, including the Montague Mines and Tennessee Valley Mine, are scattered across the slopes, indicating the area's industrial reliance on geological resources.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial grounds, from the Rocky Spring Cemetery in the east to the McMahon Cemetery and Austin-Cameron Cemetery further west. The southern portion of the map transitions into the riparian environment of the Tennessee River and Guntersville Lake, featuring the Stevenson-Bridgeport Municipal Airport as a modern transportation hub amidst the traditional rural landscape of Jackson County.
