About this map

The Sipsey River carves a winding path through the northern Fayette and Walker County line, anchoring a landscape defined by small rural settlements and family-named landmarks. During the mid-1960s, this area centered around Hubbertville and Glen Allen, where the topography transitions from the river bottomlands to the heights of Ford Mountain. The map reveals a high density of country churches and family burial grounds, such as Tidwell Chapel and Whitehead Cem, which served as the primary social and genealogical nodes for these upland communities.

Industrial activity is evidenced by numerous Gravel Pit operations scattered across the hillsides, particularly near Berea Ch. These excavations, alongside the meandering courses of Mill Creek and Barron Creek, suggest a local economy tied closely to the land's natural resources. Notable landmarks like the Lookout Tower near the Fayette-Walker border provide a sense of the forestry and surveillance infrastructure of the era.
