About this map

The town of Berry serves as the focal point of this late 1960s survey, situated at the junction of the Southern railroad and a network of local roads. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the North River and its numerous tributaries, including Cedar Creek and Cane Creek, which carve through the terrain near Pea Ridge and Frost Hill. The presence of a significant Strip Mine north of Berry, alongside several scattered Gravel Pits, points to the importance of resource extraction in this portion of the Fayette and Walker county borderlands.

Local history is preserved through numerous family and community landmarks, such as Panter Cem, Tabernacle Cem, and Jenkins Cem. Small rural congregations are well-represented by Bethabara Ch, Beyana Chapel, and Pilgrim Chapel. To the southeast, the settlement at Boley Springs marks another point of interest, complete with its own Boley Springs Ch and cemetery, reflecting the traditional rural settlement patterns of central Alabama.
