This part of north-central Alabama consists of forested, rolling hills (darker features) interspersed with cultivated fields and pasturelands (lighter features). Thin, linear highways, including sections of north-south-oriented Interstate Highway 65, radiate generally northward from Birmingham (bottom center). Visible are large Lewis Smith Lake north-northwest of Birmingham; smaller Bankhead Lake to the west, which resembles a winding river course; and several parallel ridges and intervening valleys of the southern limits of the Cumberland Plateau and the Appalachian Mountains to the northeast.
