2018 Map of Gin Creek

About this map

Phillips Chapel Cem and numerous family burial grounds characterize this rural landscape north of Tuscaloosa in the late 2010s. The region is defined by a dense network of creek drainages, including Binion Cr and Wolf Cr, which carve through the terrain and influence the winding paths of local routes like Old Fayette Rd and Kemp Rd. Small-scale agricultural and residential development is anchored by longstanding landmarks such as Nazareth Cem and Mount Zion Cem. Local history is preserved in the names of natural features and roads, from Espy Springs to the waters of Sam Norris Br. The map reveals the persistence of rural communities where church-centered cemeteries like Bethabara Cem and Haygood Cem serve as primary identifiers for the various crossroads and ridges of Tuscaloosa County.
