About this map

The Mulberry Fork snakes through the borderlands of Cullman and Blount Counties, defining a landscape of sharp river bends and high ridges. Significant topographical features like The Narrows and Pumphouse Bend illustrate the dramatic winding path of the water as it passes through the region. In the southwestern corner, the town of Garden City is a primary hub of activity, situated near the Garden City Cem and several local peaks including Ann Johnson Mtn and South Ridge.

Rural life is anchored by a network of historic churches and family-named landmarks such as Chamblees Mill, Mount Tabor Cem, and Bethlehem East Cem. Small aviation centers like New Horizon Airport and Mount Aero Lake Farm Airport are tucked into the landscape between the Broglan River and Blue Springs Cr. From the northern settlement of Walter to the southern reaches of Sky Ball, the map traces a transition from river-valley agriculture to the rising terrain of North Ridge and Sky Ball Mtn.
