About this map

Pleasant Grove serves as the central hub of this Jackson County landscape, where the topography is defined by the narrow valleys of Crow Creek and Little Coon Creek. The map documents a deeply rural character with numerous family-named landmarks and resting places, including McCrary Cemetery, Gonce Cemetery, and Allison Cemetery, which provide essential touchstones for genealogical research in this Alabama-Tennessee border region.

Industrial and natural features are etched into the terrain, from the Sparkman Mine on the eastern slopes to the complex network of hollows like Boston Hollow and Gourdneck Hollow. The hydrology of the area is particularly distinct, with numerous springs such as Tongue Spring, Poplar Spring, and Gum Spring feeding the local creek systems. This survey preserves the road network of the era, from the winding Round Cove Rd to the more direct paths of Co Rd 54 and Co Rd 170, showing how human settlement has adapted to the ridges of Round Mountain and High Point.
