The boundary between Colbert Co and Franklin Co divides a landscape defined by its complex network of watercourses in the mid-1930s. The Tennessee Valley Authority and the Geological Survey documented this rural area just as modern road infrastructure was beginning to solidify around older fords and crossings. Named river crossings like Burgess Bridge, Thorn Bridge, and Slick Rock Ford reveal the essential points of travel in a territory etched by Cedar Creek, Rock Creek, and Buzzard Roost Creek.
