1980 Map of Moundville West

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Black Warrior River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Greene and Hale counties, leaving a landscape defined by oxbow features like Cypress Cutoff Lake and Keaton Lake. This 1980 survey shows a rural Alabama landscape where small community centers are anchored by numerous country churches, including Taylor Chapel, Glen Hill Ch, and Jerusalem Ch. The Southern Railway line provides a clear industrial axis, passing through the town of Akron and the settlement of Stewart at the southern edge of the sheet. Extensive extraction sites, marked as Gravel Pits and Sandpits, cluster near the rail lines and river, reflecting the local economy's reliance on these raw materials. From the larger town of Moundville in the northeast to the low-lying wetlands of Cypress, the map documents the persistent settlement patterns of the Alabama Black Belt.
