About this map

Hollytree anchors this corner of Jackson County, where the topography is defined by complex drainage systems and family-named hollows. The landscape is marked by numerous sink features such as Cunningham Sinks, Calloway Sinks, and Jackson Sinks, indicating the subterranean karst nature of this Alabama terrain. The water system is dominated by the seasonal flow of Dry Creek and Little Dry Creek, while more permanent water features like Smith Lake and the Hurricane Creek Watershed Lake appear near the Mountain Lake Resort Dam.

Genealogists will find a high density of family burial grounds scattered across the mountain coves, including Tone Cemetery, Maples Cemetery, and the Tipton Cemetery near Clear Creek. The transportation network relies on rural routes like Co Rd 10 and Co Rd 504 that wind through the valleys between Bingham Mountain and Brooks Mountain, connecting isolated points such as Harrison Cove and Jones Cove.
