About this map

The settlement of Arley serves as the focal point for this survey of eastern Winston County, where the dendritic fingers of Lewis Smith Lake reach deep into the surrounding terrain. Much of the landscape is defined by the William B. Bankhead National Forest, creating a mosaic of public and private land. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named landmarks and historical burial sites, including the Trussell Cemetery, Kennedy Cemetery, and Taylor Hill Cemetery.

Transport through the area is dictated by the lake's topography, with notable crossings such as Duncan Bridge connecting local communities. The map highlights numerous rural churches that have long served as local anchors, such as Omega Baptist Church and Arley First Baptist Church. The settlement at Wilson Bend reflects the ongoing development along the shoreline, where residential roads like Rolling Hills Drive and Lays Rocky Lane contrast with the older rural routes like Old Arley Road.
