About this map

Ferguson Crossroads and Whitney Junction anchor this mid-century look at the borderlands of Blount, Etowah, and St. Clair counties. The landscape is dominated by the dramatic parallel ridgelines of Blount Mountain and Chandler Mountain, creating deep natural features like Chandler Gulf and The Sink. These topographical barriers concentrated human activity into the lowlands of Greasy Cove and Beason Cove, where small communities supported institutions like Smith Chapel and Chandler Mountain Sch. The presence of numerous strip mines along Raccoon Mtn and Little Red Mountain reflects the region's industrial ties to coal extraction, while the development of Camp Sumatanga and its namesake Lake Sumatanga indicates a mid-century shift toward recreation and conservation alongside traditional mountain life.
