About this map

Sand Mountain dominates this portion of the Cumberland Plateau, where the town of Fyffe and the southern edge of Rainsville anchor a landscape defined by agricultural crossroads and winding creek beds. The 2014 survey reveals a dense network of county roads connecting established settlements such as Gibson Crossroads, Moores Crossroads, and Ten Broeck. This rural infrastructure reflects a history of small-scale farming and local commerce centered around the plateau's high ground.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family and community landmarks, including the Old Sauty Mill Bridge and Greens Chapel Cem. Watercourses like South Sauty Creek and Town Creek carve through the plateau, leading to landmarks such as the Horseshoe Bend and Guest Bridge. The presence of smaller hamlets like Panhandle and Lakeview further illustrates the dispersed but persistent settlement pattern of DeKalb County.
