About this map

The Sipsey River meanders across this West Alabama landscape, defining the boundary between Pickens and Tuscaloosa counties. Small rural settlements like Elrod and Buhl anchor the southern portion of the area, while Holman and Echola sit further north along a network of county roads. The terrain is marked by numerous family and community landmarks, including Mount Nebo Cem near Elrod and the Wilburn Cem situated in the central woodlands.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with a complex system of ponds and sloughs such as Coldwater Pond, Grindle Pond, and Oak Log Slough scattered throughout the river basin. Cultural and genealogical history is well-preserved through several established burial grounds, ranging from the Corinth Cem to the Old Dunn Creek Cem, offering a detailed view of the rural heritage and settlement patterns near the Shirley Bridge crossing.
