About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide cuts through this landscape where the borders of Lawrence, Morgan, Cullman, and Winston counties converge. Small settlements like Corinth, Clifty, and Piney Grove anchor a terrain defined by deep hollows and high ridges, including Brindley Mountain and Friendship Mtn. Much of the western edge is protected within the William B. Bankhead National Forest, preserving the wooded character of the headwaters for creeks such as Crowdabout Creek and Rock Creek.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial sites, from Penn Cemetery in the north to Mt Vernon Cemetery in the south. The rural infrastructure of the early 21st century is detailed through features like Gibson Bridge and the winding course of Highway 157, which serves as a primary transit vein through these highland communities. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of public forest lands and private agricultural holdings during this period.
