2011 Map of Englewood

About this map

The Black Warrior River defines the western edge of this landscape, its winding course marked by numerous sandbars and river landings such as McPherson Landing and Hulls Landing. This area of Tuscaloosa County exhibits a settlement pattern clustered around key road junctions and water bodies, with the communities of Englewood, Little Sandy, and Maxwell serving as local anchors. The map reveals a high density of burial grounds, including the Gilgal Cemetery and Big Sandy Cemetery, which offer valuable locations for genealogical research. Inland from the river, the terrain is shaped by the drainage of Big Sandy Creek and Cypress Creek. Family-named water features like Jack Duke Lake and the Cain Lake system suggest a history of private land management and local dam construction in the rolling hills south of the city.
