About this map

The Warrior River carves a deep path through the borderlands of Tuscaloosa and Jefferson Counties, creating the distinctive Nancy Ann Bend and Dunns Bend near the northern edge of this territory. The landscape is defined by its industrial and agricultural roots, evidenced by the presence of Iron Ore Mtn and the small settlements of Burchfield Store and Bull City. The terrain is deeply incised, with Numerous ridges and hollows like Pumpkin Ridge, Graveyard Ridge, and Granny Harris Hollow dictating the winding path of local routes such as Lock 17 Rd and Old Patton Ferry Rd.

Genealogists can find significant local history in the distribution of family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds. The map documents several key sites for researchers, including Warrior Cem, Patton Cem, and Prudes Creek Cem. The waterways are equally central to the area's geography, with the Bankhead Lake and Holt Lake reservoirs providing a focal point for the many smaller tributaries like Davis Creek and Prudes Cr that feed into the main river channel.
