2021 Map of Massey

About this map

Brindley Mountain dominates the central landscape of this North Alabama survey, marking the rugged divide between the drainage systems of the Tennessee and Warrior River basins. The Tennessee Valley Divide snakes across the terrain, where numerous hollows and coves like Riley Cove and Double Hollow define the rural character. Small agricultural and timber settlements including Massey, Corinth, and Battleground are scattered throughout, often centered around local landmarks like the Andrews Chapel or historic family burial grounds such as Penn Cem and Macedonia Cem. The western edge is bordered by the William B. Bankhead National Forest, reflecting the area's transition into protected woodlands. Notable hydrological features include Crowdabout Creek and Jones Creek, which cut through the ridges and provide the primary drainage for the surrounding gaps and valleys.
