About this map

The Locust Fork of the Black Warrior River winds through this Blount County landscape, creating a series of dramatic oxbows and named river features including Standridge Bend, Johnson Bend, and Gilman Bend. This 2011 survey documents the rural character of the area around Nectar, where the river crossings define the local geography. Significant landmarks include the Nectar Covered Bridge and historic water-access points like Smith Ford and Copeland Ford.

Away from the water, the terrain rises toward several prominent peaks including Ann Johnson Mountain and Warnock Mountain. Small communities and intersections like Harkness Crossroads, Mount Olive, and Wallstown are connected by a network of county highways. For those tracing family history, the Guinns Cove Cemetery and residential developments like Little Shenandoah provide specific points of interest for identifying 21st-century property locations and neighborhood boundaries.
