2014 Map of Lake Tuscaloosa North

About this map

Lake Tuscaloosa dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, its fingers reaching into a network of creeks and branches including Cripple Cr and Tierce Cr. The settlement of Samantha serves as a central point along the Us-43 corridor, while waterfront developments like North Riviera and Binion Heights reflect the area's modern residential character around the reservoir. The terrain is deeply tied to local family history, evidenced by a dense distribution of small burial grounds such as Philadelphia Cem, Holly Springs Cem, and the Old Prewitte Cem. Historic industry and water management are suggested by Thomas Mill Br, while the North River meanders toward the notable Skelton Bend. This survey illustrates the transition from traditional rural agriculture and family farmsteads to a recreation-oriented landscape defined by the dammed waters of the river.
