About this map

The winding North River meanders through the boundary of Fayette Co and Tuscaloosa Co in this late 1960s topographical study. This part of Alabama is defined by a dense network of creek valleys and ridges, where small rural communities are anchored by landmarks like Gorgas Sch and several country churches including Union Grove Ch and Liberty Hill Ch. The landscape is heavily marked by family-named burial grounds, such as Johnson Cem, Fairview Cem, and Willingham Cem, which are tucked away near the many tributaries like Tyro Creek and Bear Creek. The presence of the Wittson Bridge and the Oregonia Ch near the southern edge of the sheet reflects the established settlement patterns of this river-valley region before major modern redevelopment.
