About this map

Lake Lurleen and its surrounding drainage basins define this portion of Tuscaloosa County, where the topography transitions from the waters of Big Cr to the heights of the surrounding ridges. The 2014 landscape is a mix of established rural communities and small settlements like Mount Olive, Highview, and Buhl. This area is particularly dense with genealogical sites, featuring numerous family and community burial grounds such as Old Bethany Cem, Hendrix Cem, and the African Methodist Episcopal Church Cem.

Infrastructure is characterized by winding secondary roads and historical routes like Jackson Trace Rd, which connects the scattered residential pockets. Water remains a central element of the terrain, from larger bodies like Elledge Lake and Lake Arnedra to the smaller streams of Carroll Cr and Wards Mill Cr. The map captures the suburban expansion at Westhill and Western Hills, providing a clear record of residential growth just northwest of the regional center.
