2000 Map of Landersville

About this map

The Moulton Valley terrain transitions sharply into the forested uplands of the William B Bankhead National Forest in this survey updated at the turn of the millennium. The northern half of the quadrangle is defined by agricultural lands and small communities such as Landersville and Mt Hope, connected by the historic route of Byler Road. This area is dense with genealogical markers, including Cave Springs Cem and Old Prospect Cem, alongside local landmarks like the Mt Hope Sch. To the south, the landscape shifts dramatically at the Tennessee Valley Divide, where the Black Warrior Wildlife Management Area and the Sipsey Wilderness protect the headwaters of Borden Creek. Points like Goat Bluff and Walker Gap mark the steep descent from the ridge into the deep hollows of the national forest system.
