About this map

Liberty Hill and Grantley anchor the settlement pattern in this northeast Alabama landscape, where the southern reaches of the Appalachian foothills give way to a network of winding creeks and mountain ridges. The geography is defined by the prominent heights of Potter Mountain, Rattlesnake Mountain, and Wilkinson Mountain, which shadow the drainage basins of Choccolocco Creek and Shoal Creek. These watercourses are vital to the area's layout, supporting man-made features like Coleman Lake and its corresponding Coleman Dam.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks such as Dunn Cemetery, Grimes Cemetery, and Stead Cemetery located along rural corridors like Rabbittown Rd and Co Rd 500. The map also details forest management infrastructure, including the Laurel Shelter Forest Service Facility and the Choccolocco Number 2 Dam, reflecting the region's intersection of natural resource conservation and rural residency.
