About this map

Cahaba River drainage systems define the rugged topography south of Helena and Alabaster, where the landscape is marked by numerous creeks and the transition between Jefferson, Shelby, and Bibb counties. This 2020 USGS survey documents a network of rural settlements and named locales that trace the area's industrial and agricultural history, including Gurnee, Straven, and Marvel. Local genealogy is well-represented through several sites of interest, such as Boothon Cem, Antioch Cem Number 2, and Linholm Cem.

The presence of locations like Glen Carbon, Gurnee Junction, and Setco Mine Rd points to the region's heritage in coal and resource extraction. Smaller communities like Pea Ridge and Brantleyville are connected by a web of county roads, including Co Rd 10 and Co Rd 17, while natural features like the Falling Rock waterfall and Gentry Springs highlight the diverse hydrography found throughout these central Alabama hills.
