About this map

Murphrees Mountain and Blount Mountain dominate this corner of Alabama, where the ridge-and-valley topography dictates the path of industry and settlement. The Seaboard Air Line railroad threads through the valleys, serving communities like Remlap and Inland Junction while skirting the edge of Inland Lake. Local life is anchored by traditional landmarks such as Lees Chapel, Pleasant Mount Ch, and the Blount Highlands Sch, reflecting a rural social fabric established long before modern development.

Industrial activity is evident in the landscape through the Strip Mine and Chert Pit, positioned near the Little Warrior River. Significant water management is visible at the Spillway of the reservoir, which feeds into various sloughs and creeks like Jones Slough. The 1980s updates, shown in purple, reveal the expansion of residential pockets like Springville Lake Estates and the continued presence of youth camps such as Camp Tekawitha.
