2011 Map of Leighton

About this map

LaGrange Mountain and the heights of Duke Mountain overlook a landscape of longstanding family settlements and agricultural roots in this Colbert County study. The town of Leighton serves as a primary hub, surrounded by a dense network of local landmarks including Valley Grove, Whiteoak, and Spring Valley. For those researching local lineages, the map identifies over a dozen burial sites such as Glendale Cemetery, Blythe Memorial Cemetery, and Rand Cemetery. Drainage patterns are defined by Dry Creek and Pond Creek, which wind through lowlands like Abernathy Bottom and Gum Bottom. The presence of the Muscle Shoals Regional Airport in the northwest and Emco-Listerhill Junction indicates the modern industrial and transportation infrastructure that has integrated with these traditional rural communities.
