About this map

The Cumberland Plateau dominates the northern reaches of this Jackson County landscape, where deep hollows like Pinhook Hollow and Farr Hollow break away from the high ground. Small rural settlements and family burial grounds are scattered throughout the terrain, including Trenton, Wininger, and Pleasant Groves. The map reveals a high concentration of cemeteries such as the Old Kirkpatrick Cem and Harrison Cem, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research and family history in this corner of Alabama.

Water features define the low-lying southern sections, where the Paint Rock River and N Sauty Cr move through the valleys. Notable landmarks include the J5 Mike Airport situated near Lim Rock and the prominent rising of McCoy Mtn and Little Mtn. The transition from the plateau to the valley floor is marked by numerous coves, such as Berrys Cove and Gentles Cove, illustrating the traditional settlement patterns where farms and communities were established at the base of the ridges.
