About this map

Russell Cave National Monument anchors the northern portion of this Jackson County survey, situated where the Cumberland Plateau meets the fertile valleys of northern Alabama. The landscape is defined by its deep hollows and prominent points, including Abbott Hollow, Wildman Cove, and Tar Kiln Point. To the south, the terrain levels out as Bengis Cr and Widows Creek flow toward the expanse of Guntersville Lake.

Transport and industry follow the lowlands, where Us-72 and several rail junctions connect the settlements of Bridgeport, Stevenson, and Edgefield. This area is particularly rich in family history, evidenced by a dense network of burial grounds like McMahan Cem, Hackworth Cem, and Greer Cem. The map captures a moment when traditional rural landmarks like Coopers Mill and Widows Creek Station exist alongside the modern Stevenson Airport.
