About this map

Paint Rock River winds through this valley where the borders of Madison and Jackson counties meet, shaping a landscape defined by dramatic coves and named hollows. This 2020 survey reveals a community deeply rooted in its local geography, with numerous family and community cemeteries such as Old Paint Rock Cem and the Silas Jones Cem scattered across the base of heights like Bingham Mtn and Splitrock Mtn. The map documents the layout of established settlements including Gurley, Paint Rock, and Woodville, all connected by the John T Reid Pkwy.

Smaller geographic features such as Bucks Pocket and Killingsworth Cove illustrate the complex terrain of the region, while landmarks like Big Lake and Serotas Spring indicate the local hydrology. This modern study provides an essential record for genealogists tracing ancestors buried at Flanagan Cem or Derrick Cem and for those interested in the contemporary infrastructure of these Northeast Alabama communities.
