2021 Map of Nauvoo

About this map

Nauvoo and its surrounding coal-country settlements in Walker Co and Winston Co define this recent topography of northwestern Alabama. The landscape is carved by a dense network of waterways, including the winding Blackwater Cr and the larger Lost Creek to the south. Historically significant nodes like Prospect and Saragossa are visible alongside the larger town of Carbon Hill at the southern edge. The map captures the intersection of forestry and community life, with the southern boundary of the William B. Bankhead National Forest stretching across the northern section. This area is noted for its numerous small burial grounds and family-named landmarks, such as Liberty Grove Cem, Busby Church, and Staggs Bridge, which provide essential reference points for genealogists tracing ancestral homesteads in these creek valleys.
