About this map

Mulberry Fork and the serpentine Blackwater Creek define the eastern and southern edges of this Walker County landscape. The area south of Jasper is a patchwork of small communities and rural intersections, including Boldo, Sardis, and Benoit. Industrial history is represented by the Union Chapel Mine, while agricultural roots are evidenced by sites like Gardiners Gin. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial grounds across the townships, such as Samaria Cem, Porter Cem, and Union Chapel Cem.

Walker County Lake serves as a central hydrological feature, fed by tributaries like Spokage Cr and Blue Br. The map captures the transition from the city outskirts of Jasper to the rugged river bends of Barton Bend and Stovatt Bend. Diverse terrain markers like Reservoir Hill and The Pinnacle stand above the drainage basins of Frog Ague Creek and Cane Cr, illustrating the complex topography near Cordova.
