About this map

Oakville and its surrounding rural communities in Lawrence County are documented here through their ancestral landmarks and complex terrain. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of Flint Creek and its many tributaries like West Flint Creek and McDaniel Creek, which carve through the northern edges of the William B Bankhead National Forest. Significant local history is preserved in the numerous family cemeteries and country churches that dot the countryside, including Moody Cem, Speake Cem, and the Aldridge Grove Ch.

A notable archaeological feature, the Indian Mound, sits near Oakville Ch and the Oakville Spring, while modern recreation is represented by the Moulton Speedway and a nearby Drag Strip. The southern portion of the map transitions into more dramatic topography, featuring Cedar Mountain, Brushy Mountain, and Washspring Mountain, with landmarks like Hog Heaven and Buzzard Roost overlooking the densely wooded forest interior.
