About this map

Holly Pond serves as a central hub in this corner of Northeast Alabama, situated along the Tennessee Valley Divide where the waters split toward different drainage basins. The landscape is defined by the distinct geological corridors of Blountsville Valley and Big Spring Valley, which channel small waterways like Copeland Cr and Blue Springs Cr toward the Mulberry Fork. This 2020 survey documents a rural mosaic of small settlements and family-named landmarks, such as Gandy Hollow and Blue Ridge.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history through the numerous country cemeteries scattered across the county line, including Eidson Chapel Cem, Rock Springs Cem, and New Harmony Cem. Infrastructure like the Rockhole Bridge and the winding network of county roads connecting Union Grove and Baileyton highlight the enduring layout of these agricultural communities. The map provides a precise record of these long-standing rural neighborhoods just before the current decade.
