2011 Map of Black Pond

About this map

Lewis Smith Lake dominates this portion of Winston County, its sprawling shoreline reaching deep into the landscape via the Sipsey Fork and Clear Creek. The impoundment surrounds the historic site of Falls City, creating a network of peninsulas where local history is preserved in small family and community burial grounds. Avery Cemetery, Wilson Cemetery, and Bennett Cemetery are scattered throughout the hills, providing valuable markers for genealogists researching the families of this river-cut terrain.
