About this map

Paint Rock River winds through this northern Alabama landscape where Jackson, Madison, and Marshall Counties meet. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and hollows, including Keel Mountain and Gunters Mtn, which frame the valley settlements. Small communities and named locales such as Woodville, Nebo, and Grant serve as the primary nodes of activity, connected by a network of rural roads like Keel Mountain Rd and Poplar Ridge Rd.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local landmarks, from family-named cemeteries like Ashburn Cem and Kirkland Cem to distinct geographical features such as Whittaker Narrows and Greasy Hollow. The presence of Butler Mill and various springs, including Bethel Spring and Manning Spring, point to the traditional water-dependent economy of these upland valleys. This topographic survey captures the area’s rural character as it appeared in 2020.
