About this map

Locust Fork and Fivemile Creek wind through this part of Jefferson County, defining a landscape marked by industrial memory and small settlements. The area around Sayre and Littleton is characterized by its proximity to the river, where geographic features like Glovers Bend and the historic crossing points at Short Ferry and Loller Ferry indicate the legacy of early local transportation. Significant land use is visible at the Chetopa Mine Impoundment Number 2, reflecting the regional importance of mining operations.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the terrain, including Saint Michaels Cem near Brookside and Odom Nail Cem further north. The map also traces the development of several distinct communities, from Robbins Crossroads to Graysville and Adamsville. The terrain itself is punctuated by named rises such as Glasgow Ridge, Crocker Mtn, and Crocker Hill, which overlook the various creeks and hollows that historically supported these Alabama towns.
