2020 Map of Dora

About this map

Dora and Sumiton anchor the northern landscape of this industrial and residential corridor, where the BNSF Ry and major roadways traverse the hills between the Mulberry Fork and the Locust Fork. The terrain is marked by a dense network of smaller settlements and mining-related locations, such as Bessie Junction, Flat Creek, and West Jefferson. The presence of the Miller Steam Plant Water Storage and the West Jefferson Reservoir highlights the regional infrastructure required for energy production and water management. Smaller communities like Twilley Town, Quinton, and Yerkwood are interconnected by winding county roads, while several historic burial grounds including Davis Cem and Bagley Bend Cem provide key points for genealogical research. The map illustrates how industry, power generation, and small-town Alabama life converge along these river forks.
