2014 Map of Pearson

About this map

Stewart Settlement and Little Hope occupy a landscape deeply etched by the drainage basins of Big Sandy Cr and Bear Cr within the Talladega National Forest. This 2014 survey reveals a rural network of cemeteries and small settlements clustered along the Us-82 corridor and winding county roads. The topography is defined by significant ridges and gaps, most notably Pearson Gap, which influences the path of the local thoroughfares. Genealogists and local researchers will find a high concentration of burial sites, including Hubbard Springs Cem, Sandy Creek Cem, and Burns Cem, scattered throughout the timbered hills. The presence of Big Sandy Spring and numerous named branches like Mill Br and Horse Br underscores the importance of natural water sources in the historical development of these Tuscaloosa and Bibb County communities.
