About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide snakes through this borderland where Alabama and Mississippi meet, defining the drainage of the region's numerous creeks. In the east, the city of Red Bay serves as a local hub, featuring established landmarks such as Hillcrest Memorial Gardens and Red Bay Cem. The landscape is dotted with family-named cemeteries and rural congregations, including Burgess Cem and New Bethel Ch, which provide valuable touchpoints for genealogical research.

Transportation and infrastructure are prominent across the terrain, from the Tishomingo County Airport near Belmont to the Golden Bear Creek Bridge crossing Bear Creek in the north. The area's hydrology is complex, with Bates Lake and Berry Lake sitting near the town center, while numerous tributaries like Gum Cr and Chubby Cr flow through the surrounding hills. This survey documents a transition from the structured street grid of Golden to the winding country routes like Antioch Church Rd and Fairview Banner Rd.
