About this map

Newell and Morrison Crossroads anchor this portion of the northern Alabama hills along the winding path of the Little Tallapoosa River. The landscape is defined by its rural settlement pattern, where small communities like Gold Ridge and Pine Hill are connected by an intricate web of county roads. These routes, such as Co RD 92 and Co RD 51, navigate the ridges and hollows carved by numerous watercourses, including Cohobadiah Cr and Wolf Cr.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Goldridge Cem, Rice Cem, and Antioch Cem. To the south, the terrain descends toward the backwaters of the R L Harris Reservoir, where Bear Cr and Mud Cr contribute to the watershed. The map documents a mature rural infrastructure, noting landmarks like Mount Gilead Cem and Nelson Lake, while the Cleburne Co and Randolph Co line traverses the northern section near Knokes Cr.
