1978 Map of Lake Tuscaloosa South

About this map

Lake Tuscaloosa dominates the northern landscape of this 1970s survey, its sinuous fingers reaching into the valleys of the North River and Hamner Creek. The map documents the recreational and residential development surrounding the reservoir, including Carroll Creek Island County Park and numerous boat ramps along Sexton Bend Road and House Bend Road. South of the lake, the terrain transitions into the growing outskirts of Northport, where traditional landmarks like Union Chapel and Chapel Hill Ch stand alongside newer subdivisions.
