About this map

Sand Mountain dominates the central landscape of this 2018 survey, providing a high-elevation backdrop for a cluster of rural communities in Marshall County. The settlement patterns are anchored by Douglas, Horton, and Mount Hebron, connected by a dense network of country roads such as Nixon Chapel Rd and Old Oneonta Rd. This area is defined by its numerous rural cemeteries and churches, which serve as vital genealogical markers for the region, including Liberty Hill Cem, Friendship Cem, and the New Clear Creek Cem.

Waterways like Big Reedbrake Cr and Little Mud Cr drain the plateau, while the Tennessee Valley-Divide snakes across the northern section of the sheet. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Albertville Regional Airport-Thomas J Brumlik Field near the eastern border. Local history researchers can also identify traditional crossings such as Flats Ford Bridge over Clear Cr in the south, illustrating the enduring transport routes of this Alabama community.
