About this map

Winfield and the neighboring community of Glen Allen sit at the intersection of Marion, Fayette, and Walker counties in this detailed study of Alabama's coal region terrain. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Sipsey River and the New River, with numerous small tributaries like Mallards Cr and Turkey Cr carving through the landscape. The map provides a remarkable level of detail for genealogists, documenting a high density of rural cemeteries and family burial grounds such as the Walker Baccus Family Cem, Box Cem, and O'Mary Cem.

Old transportation routes including the Old Stagecoach Rd and Old Byler Rd reflect the area's history as a transit corridor between small settlements like Rock City, Texas, and Bazemore. The southern portion of the map is particularly rich in family-named landmarks and rural landmarks, from Whites Chapel Cem to the Tucker Branch Rd, illustrating the persistence of local family names in the rural development of the region near the Marion County line.
