About this map

Sevenmile Island and a series of river features including Gibson Towhead and Little Buck Shoals define the northern boundary of this Colbert County landscape along the Tennessee River. The terrain transitions from these low-lying islands and river landings like Pride Landing and Kellar Quarry Landing into a complex system of ridges and hollows to the south. Prominent elevations such as Sand Mountain, Potato Hill Mountain, and Hawk Pride Mountain overlook the drainage basins of Cane Creek and Mill Creek.

The map reveals a dense network of local history markers, particularly through its cemeteries. From Gibbs Cemetery in the northwest to New Bethel Memorial Cemetery in the south, these sites alongside small settlements like Red Rock and New Bethel trace the generational footprint of the area. The inclusion of the Old Memphis Pike and Old Lee Hwy provides clear evidence of the historical transportation corridors that preceded modern highway development through this part of Alabama.
