About this map

North River winds through a landscape of winding creeks and family-named hollows along the border of Fayette and Tuscaloosa counties. This rural territory is defined by its small community centers, anchored by institutions like the Gorgas Sch and several country churches including Union Grove Ch and Liberty Hill Ch. The mapping reveals a high density of family cemeteries such as Fairview Cem, Willingham Cem, and Sterling Cem, which provide significant data for genealogical research into the local farming families. While much of the area remains wooded, a Strip Mine in the northern hills near Yellow Creek indicates the localized extraction industry of the era. Waterways like Tyro Creek and Bear Creek dominate the drainage pattern, with Wittson Bridge serving as a key crossing point for the local road network.
