About this map

Moulton serves as the focal point of this Lawrence County landscape, situated at the transition where the developed valley floor meets the northern edges of the William B. Bankhead National Forest. The map documents a classic North Alabama settlement pattern, with smaller outposts like Wren and Pinhook connected by a network of county roads such as Byler Rd and Old Hillsboro Rd. The northern half of the sheet is characterized by the gentle drainage of Sledge Cr and Eddy Cr, while the south is dominated by significant relief.

Prominent peaks like Srygley Mtn, Wren Mtn, and Penitentiary Mtn define the topography, punctuated by strategic passes such as Penitentiary Gap and Suttons Gap. This southern section marks the Tennessee Valley Divide, a major geographic boundary. Numerous small family and community burial grounds, including the McDonald Cem and Gibson Cem, are scattered throughout the region, offering important markers for genealogical research in this part of the state.
