About this map

Coker and the western reaches of Tuscaloosa sit at a geographic transition where the Black Warrior River begins a series of deep, wandering loops. The river’s path is defined by distinctive landforms and navigational landmarks such as Twelvemile Rock, Snows Bend, and Clement Bend. These river features, including Warrior Lake, illustrate the historical importance of the waterway to the region's development.

Genealogists will find a high density of small family and community burial grounds throughout the area, from Old Liberty Cem near Nubbin Creek to Jennings Chapel Cem in the northeast. The presence of both the Old Cornelius Chapel Cem and New Cornelius Chapel Cem near Buhl provides a specific window into local congregational history. To the east, the landscape becomes increasingly urbanized as it approaches Northport, featuring specialized water bodies like Bryce Hospital Lake.
