Shelton Laurel Creek and Big Laurel Creek carve through the high elevations of Madison County in this 1939 field study. The landscape is defined by family-named landmarks and small, isolated mountain communities such as White Rock, Cutshalltown, and Belva. Settlement patterns follow the creek beds and gaps, with social life anchored by country churches like Middle Laurel Ch and Piney Grove Ch.
