About this map

Shinbone Ridge and the Broomtown Valley dominate this landscape on the Alabama-Georgia border, where the steep topography of the Cumberland Plateau meets the valley floor. The western edge of the map is defined by the Little River Canyon National Preserve, a protected corridor where the Little River and its forks have carved deep into the terrain. This area is characterized by a dense network of backcountry routes such as the Desoto Scout Trl and Burnt House Ford Trl, reflecting a long history of navigation through difficult mountain passes.

Local family history is preserved in numerous burial sites scattered across the ridges and valleys, including the Cavin Family Cem, Alexander Cem, and the notable Indian Stockade Cem near Berry Springs. Small settlements like Jamestown and Chesterfield serve as anchors for the rural community, connected by winding county roads that follow the natural contours of the Shinbone Valley and the base of Lookout Mountain.
