About this map

Straight Mountain and Raccoon Mtn dominate the northern landscape of this region where St. Clair County, Etowah County, and Blount County converge. The topography is defined by parallel ridges like Texas Ridge and Chandler Mtn, creating deep valleys such as Beason Cove and the namesake Hyatt Gap. This settlement pattern follows the lower elevations between the peaks, anchored by rural hubs like Gallant and Ferguson Crossroad.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named sites, including Moodys Chapel Cem and Hopper - Jackson Cem. The map also documents the hydrological network that shaped the area, from the larger Locust Fork and Little Canoe Creek to smaller features like The Sink and The Gulf. These natural barriers and corridors explain the winding routes of Warrior Valley Road and the placement of Whitney Junction in the southern reaches.
