About this map

Russellville and the surrounding rural landscape of Franklin County are defined by a network of family-named cemeteries and creek valleys. This 2014 edition illustrates the modern layout of major thoroughfares like the Al-24 and Us-43, which intersect near the eastern settlements. The map preserves the historical alignment of the Jackson Military Rd as it approaches Isbell, a notable landmark for researchers of early Alabama transit routes.

Smaller communities such as Belgreen and Rockwood are documented alongside numerous family burial grounds, including the Belgreen Cem, Welch Cem, and Steadham Cem. The terrain is deeply dissected by drainages like Chisholm Cr and Cedar Cr, which create many isolated hollows such as Pounders Hollow and Martin Hollow. These names offer significant value for genealogists tracing family landholdings in the hills south of the county seat.
