2024 Map of Sylvania

About this map

Sand Mountain dominates the high plateau of the northeast Alabama landscape, providing the foundation for a network of rural settlements and agricultural crossroads. The town of Sylvania serves as a central hub, flanked by the residential expansion of Rainsville to the south. This modern survey illustrates how traditional community nodes like Elliott Crossroads, Brooks Crossroads, and Mahan Crossroads have persisted as significant landmarks in the upland geography. Local history is deeply etched into the land through numerous family and community burial grounds, including Wesley Chapel Cem and Lacy's Chapel Cem.
