2014 Map of Nauvoo

About this map

Nauvoo and Saragossa anchor this landscape along the Winston Co Walker Co border, where the southern reaches of the William B. Bankhead National Forest meet a network of creek bottoms and small settlements. The topography is defined by the winding course of Blackwater Creek and its many tributaries, including Buck Cr and Lost Creek. Traces of local history are preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds such as Liberty Grove Cem and Fergerson Cem, while Mt Herman Church and the waters of Odums Mill Pond mark long-standing rural gathering points. The map details the transition from the forested northern uplands to the southern hills near Carbon Hill, connected by routes like Al-5 and structures like Buck Creek Bridge and Staggs Bridge that span the region's complex drainage system.
