About this map

Cooley Crossroads and Mellow Valley anchor this portrait of the rural landscape along the border of Clay and Randolph Counties. The terrain is defined by the prominent White Oak Mtn and the long stretch of Evan Ridge, which separate the various drainage basins of the Piedmont. Small, dispersed settlements like Corinth, Sikesville, and Almond are connected by a network of local roads such as Corinth Rd and Spring Rd, reflecting a community structure built around farming and local industry.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites including Mellow Valley Cem, Mt Gilead Cem, New Hope Cem, and Jehovah Cem. These landmarks, along with many creeks like Wesobulga Creek and Hurricane Cr, provide a framework for tracing family landholdings and historical movement through this part of Alabama. The mapping also highlights the route of Al-77 and Al-49 as they navigate the ridges and valleys of this upland area.
