2018 Map of Kinlock Spring

About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide cuts through this landscape, marking a significant hydrologic boundary where the headwaters of numerous creeks and branches begin their descent. Small communities and rural crossroads such as Carroll Crossroads, Pebble, and Forkville are dispersed across the terrain, connected by a network of county roads. The eastern portion of the survey is dominated by the dense woodlands of the William B. Bankhead National Forest, containing distinctive topographic features like Kinlock Knob and the steep incisions of Buttram Gulf and Hubbard Canyon. This 2018 survey also reveals a high density of rural burial grounds and houses of worship, including the Maxwell Chapel United Methodist Church Cem and the Saint Paul Cem, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research. In the southwest, the outskirts of Haleyville meet the rolling uplands near the Upper Bear Cr Reservoir.
