1978 Map of Lake Lurleen

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Lake Lurleen State Park serves as the focal point of this Northwest Alabama landscape, where the reservoir is surrounded by a network of rural roads and historical markers. To the west of the water, Bethany Church and the nearby Old Bethany Cemetery indicate long-standing community centers. The southern portion of the map is defined by transportation corridors, specifically the Illinois Central Gulf railroad passing through Buhl and the M & G RR which connects to local timber and resource routes. Genealogists will find a wealth of family history data in the numerous burial grounds, including Hendrix Cemetery and Pool Cemetery. The terrain is drained by several waterways such as Wards Mill Creek and Nubbin Creek, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that shaped the placement of early settlements and mills in the region before the creation of the larger state park reservoir.
