2018 Map of Falkville

About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide cuts through this portion of northern Alabama, separating the headwaters of Flint Cr from the southward-draining Little Rock Cr. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition at Brindley Mountain and the Morgan and Cullman county line. Established settlements like Falkville and Lacon follow the rail and highway corridor in the north, while the southern reaches feature smaller communities such as Battleground and South Vinemont. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the terrain, from the Falkville City Cem to the more secluded Friendship Cem and Bethlehem West Cem. The map documents a complex topography of coves and gaps, including Wilhite Cove and Stringer Gap, which historically dictated the movement of goods and people between the valley and the plateau.
