2018 Map of Haleyville West

About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide cuts across this high-country landscape in Northwest Alabama, separating the headwaters of the Buttahatchee River from the northern drainage systems. This 2018 survey reveals the dispersed rural settlement pattern of the Haleyville area, where small clusters like Goddard and Bear Creek dot the landscape. A high concentration of family-named burial sites, including Trinity Cem, Old Ireland Cem, and Thornhill Cem, indicates generations of local kinship ties within the Marion and Winston county line region. The eastern edge of the map encompasses a portion of the William B. Bankhead National Forest, contrasting protected woodlands with the developed corridors of South Haleyville. Waterways such as the W Br Buttahatchee River and Kelly Mill Cr carve through the terrain, defining the local geography alongside historical roads like Alabama Ave and the legacy of the Byler Ave.
