About this map

Brindley Mountain dominates this portion of the northern Alabama landscape, marking a prominent divide where the Valley Corn Road Divide and Old Corn Road Divide snake across the high ridges. The map reveals a dense network of country churches and family cemeteries that anchor rural life near the borders of Morgan, Cullman, Lawrence, and Winston counties. Settlements like Battleground and Danville are surrounded by landmarks such as Andrews Chapel and the McKendree Ch, reflecting a deeply established community identity tied to the local terrain.

In the west, the William B Bankhead National Forest covers the uplands, while numerous hollows and coves like Blackman Hollow and Tom Powell Cove define the drainage patterns toward Crowabout Creek. This survey provides an intricate record of late 20th-century land use, showing the transition from forested federal lands to the agricultural and residential pockets connected by historic routes like Penn School Road.
