About this map

The Black Warrior River snakes along the western edge of this landscape, its banks dotted with industrial and historical markers such as McPherson Landing and several Fish Hatchery sites. To the south, the archaeological importance of the region is centered at the Mound State Mon near Moundville, where the terrain transitions from river bottomlands into the timbered slopes of the Talladega National Forest.

Settlement patterns in the late 20th century remain focused around established rural communities like Hull, Maxwell, and Englewood. Transportation is defined by the Southern Railroad corridor and the winding paths of Big Sandy Creek and its many tributaries. The area is dense with local landmarks for genealogists, including a variety of country churches such as Zion Hope Ch, Ebenezer Ch, and Little Center Ch, alongside various Gravel Pits that suggest a landscape shaped by both ancient history and modern extraction.
