2024 Map of Massey

About this map

William B. Bankhead National Forest covers the western reaches of this area, where the terrain breaks into complex drainages like Capsey Creek and Little Rock Creek. This landscape is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide, a significant geographical boundary that separates the northern flow of Wolf Branch and Crowabout Creek from the southern waters of Blevens Creek and Bee Branch. The human history of the region is etched into the landscape through small settlements such as Battleground, Corinth, and Massey, which are often centered around local congregations and burial grounds. Genealogists will find a high concentration of established cemeteries, including McKendree United Methodist Church Cem, Dripping Springs Cem, and Evergreen Cem, many of which sit on high ground like Stanton Hill or near the gaps of Brindley Mountain. The survey also documents the intersection of Lawrence, Morgan, Cullman, and Winston counties amidst prominent peaks like Bugaboo Mountain and Friendship Mtn.
