2018 Map of Paint Rock

About this map

The Paint Rock River winds through the floor of Paint Rock Valley, a region where the borders of Madison and Jackson Counties meet along a complex network of ridges and coves. The settlement of Paint Rock sits centrally along the John T Reid Pkwy, serving as a focal point near the convergence of several mountain hollows. The landscape is defined by its deep vertical relief, featuring named landmarks such as High Point, Nat Mtn, and Bingham Mtn. Local history is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds, including Rousseau Cem, Kirk Cem, and Stewart Cem, which are tucked into the base of the surrounding heights. Transport and trade are facilitated by the railroad corridor passing through Gurley and Woodville, while the valley floor is dotted with numerous springs like Cole Spring and Daniel Spring, which have historically supported the agricultural life of these communities.
