About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide cuts through this portion of Winston County, separating the headwaters of several critical drainages. To the west, the Buttahatchee River and Splunge Cr flow toward the Tombigbee system, while the waters of Clear Cr and its numerous tributaries like Little Clear Cr and Tanyard Cr trend toward the Black Warrior basin. This hydrologic divide influenced the early settlement patterns of Haleyville and the surrounding rural communities.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, including the Davis Family Cem North, Elliott Family Cem, and Ryefield Cem. The spiritual life of the era is anchored by several long-standing congregations, such as the Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church Cem and Friendship Primitive Baptist Church Cem. The map also details the northeastern edge of the William B. Bankhead National Forest, showing the interface between protected lands and the agricultural settlements of Needmore and DeFoor.
