2020 Map of Douglas

About this map

Sand Mountain dominates the center of this Marshall County landscape, where the plateau terrain is etched by an intricate network of drainage including Big Reedbrake Cr and Little Mud Cr. The settlement pattern centers on the town of Douglas and the community of Horton, with the northern edge transitioning toward Albertville. This area is characterized by a high density of rural religious and funerary sites, reflecting a deep-rooted community structure. Notable landmarks for genealogists and local historians include the Liberty Hill Church Cem, Rock Springs Church Cem, and the High Point Baptist Church near the Tennessee Valley Divide. Near the southern border, the Flats Ford Bridge crosses Big Br as it flows toward the Marshall and Etowah county line, while the Albertville Regional Airport occupies the northeastern corner, marking the modern economic footprint of the region.
