About this map

Paint Rock River winds through this northern Alabama landscape at the intersection of Madison, Marshall, and Jackson Counties. The 2018 terrain is defined by dramatic topographic shifts, from the low-lying wetlands of Pond Cr to the heights of Keel Mtn and Gunters Mtn. Smaller settlements such as Woodville, Nebo, and Grant anchor the local road network, which includes historically named routes like Butler Mill Rd and Wesley Childers Rd.

Genealogists can trace local family histories through numerous burial sites including Keel Cem, Whittaker Cem, and Ashburn Cem. The map identifies specific landmarks like Butler Mill and the striking Whittaker Narrows, alongside curiously named hollows such as Greasy Hollow and Bucksnort. The presence of Woodland Lake and various springs like Bethel Spring underscores the region's complex hydrology beneath its prominent ridges.
