2011 Map of Vandiver

About this map

Double Oak Mountain and Coosa Mountain define the topography of this corner of Alabama, where residential development and recreational lakes meet established rural communities. Near the Vandiver Post Office, the landscape is dotted with several significant burial grounds, including the Union Hill Cemetery and the Vandiver Negro Cemetery, reflecting the area's ancestral history. To the west, the Shoal Creek Golf Course represents a modern transition in land use, while the southern reaches feature the Chelsea Game Preserve Lake. The infrastructure of the era is evidenced by the Coosa Tunnel through the ridges and the Signal Mountain Lookout Tower, which provides a vantage point over the dense network of ridges such as Pine Mountain and Sand Mountain. Numerous family-named cemeteries like Weldon Cemetery and Hollis Cemetery are scattered throughout the winding roads of the ridge-and-valley terrain.
