About this map

Locust Fork of the Black Warrior River winds through this territory, defining the boundary between Blount and Jefferson counties. The landscape is characterized by the distinct ridges of Sand Mountain and Red Mtn, with Murphree Valley and Spring Valley Lakes providing contrast in the lower elevations. Numerous small settlements such as Nyota, Lehigh, and Selfville are scattered across the terrain, reflecting the area's rural development north of Pinson.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local markers including Village Springs Cem, Vandiver Cem, and Lilly Chapel Cem. Natural landmarks like The Narrows and Gurley Creek Gap illustrate the geological breaks in the ridges that dictated early transport routes. The presence of Deans Ferry Bridge and numerous named local roads like Reid School House Rd further anchor the community history within this northern Alabama region.
