About this map

The Black Warrior River Bankhead Lake and Holt Lake dominate this landscape on the border of Tuscaloosa and Jefferson counties. The 1974 survey captures a period of industrial activity and utility expansion, evidenced by a Strip Mine in the south and various Pipeline and Conveyor routes crossing the terrain. The central community of Burchfield Store serves as a local landmark, while the John Hollis Bankhead Lock and Dam highlights the river's role in regional infrastructure.

Genealogists can find several family-linked sites including Patton Cem and Warrior Cem, along with local congregations at Providence Ch and Poplar Springs Ch. The topography is defined by significant elevations like Iron Ore Mountain and distinctive landforms such as Graveyard Ridge and Pumpkin Ridge. Wooded hollows and named branches like Granny Harris Hol and Wildcat Branch reveal the intricate drainage system feeding into the Black Warrior River system.
