About this map

Steele and Gilbert serve as the primary hubs in this region where the Alabama landscape transitions from the heights of Chandler Mtn down into the Canoe Creek Valley. The ridge-and-valley topography is punctuated by unique geological landmarks like the Chandler Natural Bridge and several secluded basins such as Beason Cove. Local genealogy is well-supported by several burial sites, including Deerman Chapel Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Gallant Cem, which are scattered among the foothills and small water bodies like Pope Lake.

Industry and transport follow the natural corridors of the land, with rail lines and roads like Steele Station Rd running parallel to the base of the mountains. To the east, the terrain levels out toward Rainbow City and the waters of H Neely Henry Lake. This area demonstrates a mix of rural mountain life and the growing proximity of larger settlements like Attalla, all connected by a web of county roads and mountain cutoffs.
