About this map

Guntersville Lake dominates the southern landscape of this Jackson County quadrangle, where the waters of the Tennessee River basin meet the rising slopes of the Cumberland Plateau. The settlement of Stevenson serves as a central hub, situated near the intersection of the John T Reid Pkwy and several rural routes. The area is characterized by numerous small coves and hollows, such as Washington Cove and Happy Hollow, which have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and small communities like Fackler and Hollywood.

Genealogists will find a significant density of family burial grounds scattered throughout the valley and ridge terrain, including Lovelady Cem, Stogsdill Cem, and the Pauper Cem located near Poorhouse Mtn. The topography transitions from the wetland margins of Mud Creek to prominent heights like Crow Mtn and Dudley Mtn, illustrating the varied geography of the Alabama highlands. Water features such as Big Coon Creek and Blue Spring provide the drainage network for these diverse elevations.
