About this map

The Flint River meanders through this portion of Madison County, carving a valley between high points like Drake Mountain and Gurley Mountain. This landscape is defined by its water crossings and small-scale industry, evidenced by the presence of Sublett Mill and historic river crossings at Grayson Ford and Adair Ford. The settlement pattern follows the river and the base of the mountains, with clusters at Brownsboro, Big Cove, and Cherrytree.

Genealogists will find a high density of family-named landmarks and burial grounds, including the Lawler Cemetery, Potts Cemetery, and Sanford Cemetery. The area’s aviation history is visible through the Madison County Sky Park, Wood Airport, and Gurley Airport. While modern residential developments appear near Little Cove, much of the terrain remains dominated by named topographical features like Lickskillet, High Point, and Horse Cove, preserving the character of the Alabama countryside.
