About this map

The town of Berry serves as a central hub in this survey, situated at a junction of the Southern railroad line. The surrounding landscape in Fayette and Walker counties is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Wolf Creek, Cane Creek, and Cedar Creek, which carve through the terrain near the Wolf Creek Wildlife Management Area. Evidence of the region's industrial activity is visible in the form of several Strip Mines and gravel pits scattered across the hills.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by numerous rural landmarks. Small communities and family names are preserved through sites like Boley Springs, Pea Ridge, and Alta. Researchers can trace the placement of several country houses of worship and burial grounds, such as Tabernacle Cem, Bethabara Ch, and Old Salem Ch, which served these dispersed hilltop and valley settlements during the mid-to-late 20th century.
