About this map

The North River carves a winding path through this corner of the Alabama back country, where the borders of Fayette and Tuscaloosa Counties meet. This landscape is defined by its deep hollows and creek networks, including Cedar Cr and Tyro Cr, which have long shaped the placement of local roads and family settlements. High ground is marked by features like Tyro Creek Hill, while the valleys are threaded with a dense collection of historic burial grounds that speak to the area's deep-rooted community history. Many of these sites, such as Union Grove Cem and Sulphur Springs Cem, are located near crossroads or along older ridge routes like Upper Ridge Rd. The presence of Bethlehem Church near the center of the survey area suggests a long-standing local hub for the surrounding rural families and farmers who navigated this dissected terrain.
