About this map

Jemison Mtn rises above a landscape defined by its network of watercourses and rural settlements east of Tuscaloosa. This survey illustrates the proximity of towns like Coaling, Vance, and Brookwood, where residential developments such as Pleasant Ridge meet the winding paths of Hurricane Creek and Little Hurricane Cr. The mapping of the area shows a distinct concentration of local heritage sites, with several burying grounds including Thomas Chapel Cem and New Asia Cem situated among the timbered hills.

Water features are central to the geography here, with several named bodies such as Walker Lake, Sniders Lake, and Vining Pond interspersed between the smaller tributaries like Beatty Br and Marchant Br. The road network, including names like Big Hurricane Church Rd and Keenes Mill RD, suggests a long-standing rural community structure that persists alongside modern interstate development. This topographical record is particularly valuable for documenting family-named landmarks and the specific drainage patterns of the Big Sandy Cr watershed.
