2024 Map of Mellow Valley

About this map

Wesobulga Creek and its many tributaries, including Dinner Creek and Turkeypen Creek, carve through the rolling uplands of Clay and Randolph Counties. This modern survey illustrates a rural landscape defined by historic family-named burial grounds and scattered small settlements. Mellow Valley serves as a local hub, anchored by the Mellow Valley Baptist Church Cem, while smaller communities like Cooley Crossroads, Almond, and Sikesville are connected by a network of county and logging roads. The terrain is dominated by the White Oak Mountain Ridge and Evan Ridge, which separate the various drainage basins. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed regarding local cemeteries, such as the McDaniel Cem and Corinth Cem, which are often the last standing indicators of earlier family farmsteads in this part of Alabama.
