About this map

Tuscaloosa expands eastward in this detailed survey, where suburban developments like Forestasia, Mayfair, and Woodmont meet the winding corridors of Hurricane Creek and Cottondale Cr. The landscape is a mix of established neighborhoods and smaller communities such as Peterson, Fleetwood, and Brookwood. Local history is anchored by numerous small burial grounds, including Ruhama Cem and Bankston Cem, which sit near the northern reaches of the quadrangle.

Transport and industry leave a visible footprint through the Interstate 20 59 corridor and the proximity of the Black Warrior River in the northwest. Evidence of the region’s economic past is found in features like Prudes Mill Pond and Cribbs Mill Cr, while the winding Gilmore Mine Rd hints at the area’s industrial roots. The map also captures several recreational and natural points, from the Cottondale Nature Garden Cem to the waters of East Lake and Canyon Lake Lower.
