2018 Map of Lawrence Cove

About this map

Brindley Mountain and the Tennessee Valley Divide define this landscape where the boundaries of Morgan and Cullman counties meet. The terrain is marked by steep valleys and narrow hollows, such as Goat Hollow and Derrick Hollow, which have historically shaped the settlement patterns of local communities. The area is dotted with small rural centers including Fairview, Eva, and Center Dale, connected by a network of county roads that navigate the complex topography. Genealogists will find a wealth of local history through the numerous burial grounds recorded here, such as Canaan Cem, Etha Cem, and Daniels Chapel Cem. The drainage of Duck Creek and Wolf Cr in the south contrasts with the northern slopes that feed into Lawrence Cove and Greasy Cove, illustrating the geographic transition between the plateaus and the lower valleys of northern Alabama.
