About this map

The Sipsey River meanders through a landscape of creek valleys and ridges where the border of Tuscaloosa and Pickens Counties meets. This 2018 survey captures the rural character of the region, anchored by the settlements of Moores Bridge and Brownville. The geography is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Turkey Cr, Moccasin Br, and Dunn Cr, which carve through the terrain near landmarks like Phillips Mtn.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of local burial sites, such as Spring Hill Cem, Mayfield Cem, and Sardis Cem, scattered throughout the hinterlands. The map details an intricate road network that reflects the area's agricultural and homesteading roots, from Old Moores Bridge Rd to the timber-associated Brownville Pike. This modern record preserves the exact placement of these rural communities and landmarks in the twenty-first century.
