2014 Map of Henagar

About this map

Sand Mountain dominates this portion of the Cumberland Plateau, where the landscape transitions from the high, flat-topped ridge down toward the Tennessee River valley at Guntersville Lake. The settlement patterns shown here are deeply tied to the terrain, with small communities like Pisgah, Rosalie, and Henagar established along the plateau's primary corridors. The map reveals the intricate drainage system of the mountain, including Coon Creek and Bryant Cr, which have carved significant features such as The Gorge and Coon Gulf. For genealogists and local historians, the document provides precise locations for several rural burial grounds, including Nelson Cem and Hudgins Cem, alongside small named locales like Morris Mill and Central. The boundary between Jackson Co and DeKalb Co bisects the area, illustrating how early political lines followed these upland natural features.
