About this map

Coal Fire Cr and its numerous tributaries, including Woolbank Cr and Little Cr, define the drainage patterns across this rural landscape in Pickens County. The area is characterized by a dense network of country roads named for local families and landmarks, such as Homer Gore Rd, Lowell Hanks Rd, and Stinson Ridge. These routes connect several established community centers, often marked by their local burial grounds.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant sites, including Zion Possum Bend Cem and Spring Hill Church Cem. The terrain is also home to Shepherds Lake and the waters of Big Creek. This 2020 edition provides a contemporary look at the township and range divisions of West Alabama, showing how historic family names continue to designate the landscape through markers like Brooks Cem and Crossroads Cem.
