2011 Map of Falkville

About this map

Falkville serves as the primary hub in this portion of north-central Alabama, where the modern corridor of the interstate intersects with traditional rural settlements. The landscape is defined by a dense network of family-named cemeteries and landmarks, such as East Battleground Cemetery, McCroskey Cemetery, and the Zeke Hollow Camp Ground, reflecting generations of local lineage. The terrain is deeply carved by drainage systems like Flint Creek and its many tributaries, including Hurricane Creek and Indian Creek, which have dictated the placement of communities like Lacon and Bell Springs. These watercourses flow between prominent ridges such as Thomas Mountain and Burney Mountain, creating isolated pockets like Wilhite Cove and Milligan Cove. The presence of the Paul Rigsby Dam and Darrell Parker Pond highlights local water management in a region where topography and hydrology remain central to the community's structure.
