2014 Map of Glen Allen

About this map

The Sipsey River flows through this corner of the Alabama coal country, where the borders of Marion, Fayette, and Walker Counties converge. Small communities like Glen Allen and Texas anchor a landscape defined by deeply dissected creek valleys and numerous family burying grounds. Genealogists will find a high concentration of small cemeteries, including the Walker Baccus Family Cem, Whites Chapel Cem, and O'Mary Cem, scattered across the ridges. The terrain transitions from the elevations of Rock City in the north down toward Bazemore in the south, following the drainage of Turkey Cr and the Little New River. The transport network shows a mix of older local routes like the Old Glen Allen Rd alongside modern thoroughfares, reflecting the area's continued role as a rural crossroads.
