About this map

The North River carves a winding path through this portion of Tuscaloosa and Fayette counties, defining a landscape of deep hollows and high ridges. The area is characterized by a dense network of rural cemeteries and family burial grounds, such as Fairview Cem and Willingham Cem, which speak to the long-standing community roots along the county line. Prominent landmarks like Tyro Creek Hill and the Wittson Bridge anchor the local geography, while natural features like Bethlehem Spring provided vital water sources for early inhabitants.

Transportation follows the terrain, with roads like Old Jasper Rd and New Lexington Rd connecting remote homesteads and local institutions. Bethlehem Church stands as a central spiritual landmark in a region where life was historically dictated by the drainage of Tyro Creek and Bear Creek. The map provides a detailed view of these rural settlements and land divisions at the T17S and T18S township boundaries.
