2011 Map of Nauvoo

About this map

Nauvoo and its Nauvoo Post Office serve as the primary northern hub in this detailed survey of rural Walker County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways including Blackwater Creek, Buck Creek, and the Bean River, which historically dictated the placement of small communities like Saragossa, Lupton, and Rosehill. Local family history is well-preserved through numerous burial sites, including the King Cemetery, Keeton Cemetery, and Ferguson Cemetery. One of the most distinctive markers of the area's physical history is the Odums Mill Dam located on a bend of Blackwater Creek, illustrating the enduring relationship between the local economy and its water resources. This survey maps the transition of the region's transport from historical creek crossings, such as Staggs Bridge, to the modern road network comprising Slicklizzard Rd and Romine Bailey Rd.
