1928 Map of Samantha

About this map

The Byler Road cuts a historic path through northern Tuscaloosa County, anchoring a landscape of scattered rural communities just before the close of the 1920s. Centered on Samantha, this survey illustrates a densely settled agrarian region where social life revolved around a network of country schools and churches like Haywood Chapel and Philadelphia Ch. Small commercial hubs such as Prices Store and Burnetts Store provided essential services along the winding routes connecting the highlands to the North River basin. The terrain is defined by deep creek valleys, including Binion Creek and Carroll Creek, which dictated the placement of early settlements like McConnells and Bell City. Researchers can trace the placement of numerous family-named landmarks and schools, such as Trawick Sch and Barbee Sch, which have since undergone significant change or consolidation.
