About this map

Blackwater Creek and its many tributaries, including Strip Pit Creek and Crooked Creek, define the topography of this Walker County landscape. The area is characterized by a series of small, distributed settlements like Manchester, South Lowell, and Marigold, which are connected by a network of rural roads such as Lamon Chapel Rd and Marigold Rd. The map reveals the local industrial footprint through the West Jasper Gas Field and Jasper Gas Field, reflecting the region's energy resources.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial sites, including the Old Bennett Cemetery and Jones Cemetery. To the north, the waters of Lewis Smith Lake reach into the quadrangle, while landmarks like the Russell Fire Tower and multiple crossings such as Johnsey Bridge and Shields Bridge provide specific points of reference for navigating the early 21st-century terrain of this Alabama community.
