2018 Map of Massey

About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide snakes through this landscape on the border of Lawrence, Morgan, and Cullman Counties, marking a transition between the northern plateaus and the dissected hills of the William B. Bankhead National Forest. This area is defined by its numerous family and community cemeteries, such as Penn Cem, Macedonia Cem, and Speegle Cem, which anchor the small rural settlements of Massey, Corinth, and Battleground. The topography is a maze of named hollows and ridges, including Stanton Hill, Bugaboo Mtn, and Carter Hollow, carved by the headwaters of Crowdabout Cr and Wolf Br. The presence of several churches, including Friendship Church and Andrews Chapel, alongside landmarks like Gibson Bridge, provides a clear view of the social geography of these North Alabama hill communities.
