About this map

Coaling and the surrounding eastern Tuscaloosa County communities appear here as they were in the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by the dense network of tributaries feeding into Hurricane Creek, including Little Hurricane Creek and Blanchet Branch. This area shows a distinct pattern of small, localized settlements and rural road networks like Hagler Coaling Road and Wire Road, reflecting a history of community development tied to both geographic ridges and local waterways.

Researchers and genealogists will find several burial grounds and community centers throughout the quadrangle, such as Mt Zion Cemetery, Evergreen Cemetery, and Thomas Chapel Cemetery. The transition from the more developed corridor of Brookwood and Vance to the high ground of Pleasant Ridge illustrates the intersection of modern infrastructure and traditional Alabama settlement patterns. Water bodies like Walker Lake and Sniders Lake are scattered throughout, integrated into the residential and rural fabric of this region.
