Black Diamond and Lawsontown anchor this industrial and rural landscape southwest of Bessemer, where the geography is defined by the ridge-and-valley structures of Rock Mountain and McAshan Mountain. The map reveals a complex water management system associated with the area's industrial history, notably the Slurry Impoundment Johns Washer near North Johns and Johns. These features, alongside the numerous small water bodies like Rock Lakes and McKelvey Lakes, illustrate the intersection of natural drainage and human modification in Jones Valley.
