2018 Map of Oneonta

About this map

Oneonta serves as the primary hub of this north-central Alabama landscape, where the ridge-and-valley topography of the Cumberland Plateau dictates the layout of modern roads and older settlements. The map illustrates a transition from the urban grid of the county seat to the outlying hamlets of Champion and Eastwood. Water features such as Highland Lake and Whited Lake are prominent, while the Calvert Prong Little Warrior River and Blackburn Fork Little Warrior River drain the surrounding heights of Sand Mountain and Straight Mtn. Genealogists will find notable value in the location of rural burial sites like Liberty Cem, Valley View Cem, and Clements Cem. The distinct gap at Taits Gap and the geologic corridor of Murphree Valley highlight how the natural terrain has funneled human movement and settlement for generations.
