About this map

Sugar Creek and its many winding tributaries, including Dobbins Branch and Dement Creek, define the agricultural and residential landscape along the Alabama-Tennessee border. Small communities and crossroads like Union Hill, Good Springs, and Cherry Grove are connected by a network of county roads that navigate the local terrain of Hickory Ridge and Scarce Grease. The map records a deep social history through several family and community burial grounds, such as Hesters Chapel Cemetery and McCravy Cemetery.

Industry and infrastructure appear as traditional landmarks, notably Ridgway Mill located near the center of the quadrangle and the Lester Post Office to the north. The area's hydrology is marked by features like Enon Dam and several named springs, including Gray Spring and Band Mill Spring. This survey captures the rural character of the region as it transitioned into the early 21st century, preserving the placement of homes and farmsteads alongside long-standing local landmarks.
