Leaving Centreville, going south on highway 82 ...you will gradually begin to climb...hill, valley......with the next hill higher...this is Sand Mountain...it is not a small mountain...as you top a long hill with a right (slow) lane added, you will see a small dirt road to the right...this goes to Maude Tower(an old fire tower)...highest point on Sand Mountain. Highway 82, then, descends on...toward Randolph,Maplesville, and the communities you mentioned. I was born close to where the highway 83 intersects highway 82. We went to Perry Mountain Fire Tower when I was growing up.But I have heard tales of how my daddy would back up the hill over there instead of going forward.....and how they got stuck in the sand.

Does there remain any houses or anything in the community called Sand Mountain? My grandparents and my father lived there once.
