1978 Map of Gin Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Binion Creek and Wolf Creek define the drainage of this rural landscape in northern Tuscaloosa County during the mid-1970s. The settlement pattern is characterized by scattered family homesteads, rural churches, and numerous small cemeteries, many bearing the names of local families such as the Espy, Gilliam, and Edmondson families. The presence of Northside High Sch and Walker Sch near the eastern margin suggests a focal point for the surrounding community, while the community of Bethabara anchors the southern portion of the sheet. Modern utility infrastructure is visible in the form of Water Tanks and Sewage Disposal Ponds, contrasting with the traditional rural network of unpaved roads like Old Fayette Road and Thornton Road. The map provides a detailed view of the terrain before later suburban expansion, tracing the headwaters of Gin Creek and Sam Norris Branch.
