2020 Map of Somerville

About this map

Somerville and Priceville anchor this Morgan County landscape, where the plateau terrain of northern Alabama is marked by deep hollows and prominent ridges. The geography is defined by a series of north-south running valleys and high points such as Fairview Mtn, Cedar Mtn, and Wilson Mtn. This area has long served as an agricultural and residential corridor along AL Highway 67, connecting smaller settlements like Henderson and Gum Spring. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites documented, including the New Center Baptist Church Cem, Waugh Cem, and Houston Cem. The intricate drainage network of Cedar Creek and Six Mile Creek carves through the limestone, creating features like Devils Cellar Hollow and Lovers Leap, illustrating the complex topography that has shaped local development and road patterns for generations.
