2021 Map of Houston

About this map

Double Springs and Houston anchor this section of Winston County, where the southern reaches of the William B. Bankhead National Forest meet the convoluted shoreline of Lewis Smith Lake. The landscape is defined by the deep incisions of the Sipsey Fork of the West Fork Wild and Scenic River, which carves through the terrain at Moody Bend before feeding into the lake. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds and places of worship, such as the Barnett Chapel Church Cem and New Home Missionary Baptist Church Cem, which speak to the long-standing community ties in this part of the Alabama highlands.
