About this map

Mound State Mon and the northern edge of Moundville anchor the southwestern corner of this survey, where the Black Warrior River loops through the bottomlands. The landscape transitions from the river's floodplains and fish hatcheries near McPherson Landing to the wooded hills of the Talladega National Forest in the east. The Southern Railway cuts a corridor through the center, serving small rural communities such as Hull and Maxwell.

Genealogists and local historians will find a dense network of country churches and community landmarks, including Zion Hope Ch, Antioch Ch, and Mt Sinai Ch. Evidence of the area's timber and transportation history is visible in the Old Railroad Grade and numerous Gravel Pits. The map also captures the meandering courses of Big Sandy Creek and Cypress Creek, which define the drainage patterns of this Tuscaloosa County terrain.
