About this map

The William B. Bankhead National Forest defines the southern landscape of this Lawrence County region, where the terrain shifts into the ridges and hollows of Pinhook Mtn and Brushy Mtn. Small rural communities like Oakville, Speake, and Fairfield are connected by a network of county roads that navigate the complex drainage of West Flint Creek and its many tributaries, such as Tacky Br and Beaver Pond Br.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, including the Old Friendship Cem, Alexander-Welborn Cem, and Stephenson Cem. Named landmarks like McDaniel Bridge and geographic features such as Indian Tomb Hollow and Buzzard Roost provide specific points of interest for those tracing local history. The map also highlights the importance of local water sources, notably Oakville Spring and the Oakville Pond.
