2018 Map of Painter

About this map

Sand Mountain dominates the landscape of this plateau region in northeast Alabama, where the drainages of Shoal Cr and Whippoorwill Cr carve into the upland. The area is defined by a dense network of rural communities such as Geraldine, Painter, and Kilpatrick, linked by a system of county roads and named routes like Valder Johnson Rd and Pea Ridge Rd. The map reveals a land heavily utilized for agriculture and small-town residency, with numerous small family and church burial grounds scattered throughout, including Dalrymple Cem and Lowrey Cem. A series of significant river crossings, such as Luther Bridge and Green Ford Bridge, highlight the historical importance of the Scarham Cr waterway system for local transit. The transition from Marshall Co to DeKalb Co is marked by subtle shifts in the road grid and the concentration of settlements like Whiton and Five Forks.
