2020 Map of Bishop

About this map

The Natchez Trace Pkwy arcs across this portion of Colbert County, Alabama, tracing a historic travel corridor through a landscape defined by deep-cut hollows and seasonal creek branches. In the rural community of Allsboro, social life is anchored by the Allsboro Methodist Church and the Allsboro Cumberland Presbyterian Church, while surrounding settlements like Burnstown, Maud, and Mynot are linked by a network of winding county roads. The terrain is notably dissected by watercourses such as Bear Creek and Cripple Deer Cr, which have carved out locally named features like Templeton Hollow and McCluskey Hollow. Genealogists will find a wealth of family history sites, including the Liberty Cem, Alsobrook Cem, and Twitty Cem, often located near these early homesteading pockets. The map also captures the state line where Alabama meets Mississippi, marked by the transition from Tishomingo and Colbert counties.
