About this map

Moulton serves as the focal point of this Lawrence County survey, showing a landscape defined by the Moulton Valley and the northern edge of the William B Bankhead National Forest. The map documents the town's expansion with additions like the Lawrence County High School and a Coliseum, while preserving the locations of numerous family and municipal burial grounds such as McDonald Cem and Heflin Cem.

South of the valley, the terrain rises sharply into the Black Warrior Wildlife Management Area, featuring distinctive peaks like Buzzard Roost Mountain and Penitentiary Mountain. Historic transportation routes are visible, most notably Byler Road, which winds through Penitentiary Gap toward the southern forests. This documentation of the area captures the transition from the organized agricultural and residential grids near Muck City to the more isolated landmarks of the national forest boundary, including Blowing Springs and Mulligan Gap.
