2018 Map of Nectar

About this map

The Locust Fork of the Black Warrior River carves a serpentine path through this Blount County landscape, creating dramatic meanders such as Standridge Bend and Johnson Bend. This terrain is defined by a series of prominent elevations, including Wornock Mtn and Hog Mtn, which frame small communities and family coves. Settled pockets like McAnnally Cove and Guinn Cove are tucked between the ridges, while the town of Nectar serves as a local hub near the landmark Nectar Covered Bridge. Local history is anchored by several rural burial grounds and meeting points, including the Union Grove Cem near Mount Olive and the intersection at Harkness Crossroads. The map records a complex network of local roads such as Sky Ball Rd and Wet Cat Rd that connect these upland settlements to the river valley.
