About this map

Red Bay serves as the focal point of this region, situated where the Alabama state line meets Mississippi across a landscape defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide. The drainage patterns are clearly delineated, with the Freedom Hills rising in the northeast while numerous creeks like Chubby Cr and its forks provide the primary relief to the west. This 2020 record of the borderlands highlights a significant number of family and community burial grounds, including the Burgess Cem African American and Hillcrest Memorial Gardens.

The presence of the Tishomingo County Airport near Belmont and the crossing at Golden Bear Creek Bridge near Golden illustrate the modern transportation infrastructure that connects these rural communities. Notable local landmarks like Bates Lake and Gum Cr offer a detailed look at the hydrology of the Tishomingo Co and Franklin Co border. The map provides essential data for genealogists and local historians tracing family lineages near New Bethel Cem, Hodge Cem, and New Hope Cem.
