About this map

Blackwater Creek and its many tributaries, including Teagle Creek and Charles Creek, define the drainage patterns of this rural Walker County landscape. The northern reaches are dominated by the William B. Bankhead National Forest, while the southern portion transitions toward the outskirts of Jasper. The map reveals a high density of family and community landmarks, particularly small cemeteries like Bennett Cem and Jones Cem, which point to a long history of local settlement across townships like t13s r8w. Transport and infrastructure are centered around the Walker County Airport- Bevill Field and a network of named rural routes such as Johnsey Bridge Rd and Gamble Mine Rd. The landscape is dotted with small communities including Marigold, Manchester, and South Lowell, reflecting the traditional settlement patterns of the Alabama coal country and its associated light industry and agriculture.
