2014 Map of Creel

About this map

Mulberry Fork and the Locust Fork of the Black Warrior River define the northern and southern reaches of this landscape, where the borders of Cullman, Blount, Walker, and Jefferson counties converge. The terrain is marked by numerous peaks including York Mountain and Greathouse Mtn, with a network of rural communities such as Hayden, Sloan, and Red Hill situated along the winding ridges. The map reveals a dense system of local roads like Arkadelphia Rd and Sitton Rd that connect isolated homesteads and crossroads. Family history and local heritage are anchored by sites such as Harmony Cem and the settlement at Partridge Crossroads. The numerous creeks, including Isabelle Cr and Chicken House Cr, illustrate the complex drainage patterns feeding the river forks that historically shaped the development of this Alabama backcountry.
