1967 Map of Berry

About this map

Berry sits at the junction of the Southern railroad and several local creek drainages, serving as a focal point for this portion of the Fayette and Walker County border. The landscape is defined by the industrial presence of Strip Mine operations and numerous Mines that mark the terrain between Pea Ridge and Frost Hill. Extensive woodland covers much of the area, including the Wolf Creek Wildlife Management Area in the northern reaches. For genealogists, the map is a dense record of rural community life, featuring a high concentration of country churches and family burial grounds such as Bethabara Ch, Old Salem Ch, and Tabernacle Cem. Small settlements like Alta and Boley Springs are connected by a network of unimproved roads and light-duty paths that follow the winding courses of Cane Creek and Cedar Creek.
