2024 Map of Portersville

USGS Topo · Published 2024

About this map

Big Wills Valley and the Little Wills Valley serve as the primary corridors for settlement and transport through this section of Northeast Alabama. The terrain is dramatically shaped by the parallel formations of Lookout Mountain and Sand Mountain, creating a landscape of linear ridges and sheltered coves such as Lackey Cove and Lykes Cove. The town of Collinsville stands as the principal community at the southern end of the sheet, while the namesake Portersville sits at a strategic gap between the ridges. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named landmarks and burial grounds, including the Anthony Collins Cem, Kilian Cem, and the Warren Stewart Cem. The presence of numerous small cemeteries alongside older roadbeds suggests a long history of family homesteads established in the valleys between Shinbone Ridge and Big Ridge.
