2014 Map of Berry SE

About this map

Gorgas sits at the southwestern edge of this survey, a landscape defined by the winding course of the North River and its numerous tributaries. The terrain is a complex network of ridges and hollows, such as Poplar Hollow, where small family cemeteries and rural churches anchor the local geography. Significant local history is preserved in the naming of sites like Bethlehem Church Spring and the Wittson Bridge, which crosses the river near the junction of Willingham Rd and New Lexington Rd. The map reveals a dense web of local roads and loops, including Utley Loop and Paul Jones Loop, that connect disparate homesteads and burial grounds. This documentation of the Fayette and Tuscaloosa county line provides a clear picture of the area's rural settlement patterns, marked by landmarks like Tyro Creek Hill and the many community cemeteries that serve as vital links to the region's genealogical past.
