About this map

Schultz Creek and its many tributaries, including Hill Creek and Licklog Branch, carve a dense network of drainages across this portion of the Alabama landscape. Small communities like Vernontown, Moffat, and Lowerytown are connected by a web of rural routes such as Scottsville Road and Old Highway 5. The area is notably dense with family and community burial grounds, from the Johnstown Cemetery in the north to the Haysop Cemetery in the southwest, suggesting a long history of local settlement and genealogical continuity. Industrial and transport footprints are visible through the path of the BNSF Railway near Vance and the presence of Stone Quarry Branch. The terrain rises to the east at Primitive Ridge, while recreational or industrial water bodies like Crystal Lake and Shady Grove Lakes dot the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
