2002 Map of Englewood

About this map

The Black Warrior River carves a winding course through this landscape, defining the western edge of a region where river bottomlands meet the rising timberlands of the Talladega National Forest. Near the southern border, the ancient earthworks of Mound State Mon at Moundville highlight a site of profound archaeological significance, overlooking the river's floodplains. The map reveals a rural economy shaped by water and woods, with numerous Fish Hatcheries and Gravel Pits interspersed between small settlements. Local life is anchored by a network of country houses of worship, including Zion Hope Ch, Oak Grove Ch, and Antioch Ch. Along the river, Mcpherson Landing serves as a reminder of the historical importance of the waterway for transport, while the confluence of Big Sandy Creek and Little Sandy Creek creates a complex drainage system across the Tuscaloosa and Hale County line.
