About this map

The town of Berry serves as the primary hub in this eastern Fayette County landscape, where the street grid of Madison Ave and Federal Ave meets the surrounding rural terrain. The area is defined by a dense network of family-named landmarks and community centers, particularly concentrated around the winding courses of the North River and Cedar Creek. To the east, the boundary between Fayette and Walker Counties runs through the small settlements of Pendley and Alta, where local life is anchored by several long-standing burial grounds such as Alta Cemetery and Pendley Cemetery.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the numerous named cemeteries scattered across the ridges, including Bethabara Cemetery near the center of the sheet and Salem Cemetery to the east. The southern portion of the quadrangle includes the community of Boley Springs, positioned near the headwaters of Little Yellow Creek, illustrating the traditional settlement patterns where small towns emerged along the tributary systems of the larger North River basin.
