About this map

Gin Creek and the surrounding drainage basin of Binion Cr define this rural landscape in Tuscaloosa County. The area is characterized by a dense distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Wommack Cem, Kemp Cem, and Wilson Cem, which provide significant genealogical anchor points for the region. These sites are linked by a network of winding roads like Northside Rd and Old Fayette Rd, following the contours of the Alabama hills.

The hydrology of the quadrangle is central to its character, featuring Montgomery Lakes in the south and the notable Espy Springs in the northeast near Us 43. This survey reveals a landscape where traditional community landmarks like Phillips Chapel Cem and Bethabara Cem persist alongside contemporary residential developments. The topographic detail captures the numerous small branches, such as Sam Norris Br and Dry Br, that feed into the larger creek systems.
