About this map

Sand Mountain dominates the western half of this landscape, where the plateau surface is dotted with agricultural communities like Sardis City and Mountainboro. The terrain is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide, which separates the high plateau drainage from the valley floor to the southeast. Movement across this elevation change is concentrated at natural breaks like Belcher Gap, Horton Gap, and Leath Gap, which connect the upland settlements to the Little Wills Creek drainage system.
