2011 Map of Sipsey

About this map

The Mulberry Fork and Sipsey Fork converge in this part of Walker County, defining a landscape of sharp river bends and complex creek systems. Significant water-control and navigational features are evident, including the Bill Grey Dam, the Little Creek Impoundment Dams, and natural landmarks like Phillips Shoals and Baltimore Ford. The settlement pattern centers on the corridor between Sumiton and Argo, where the Sumiton Post Office serves as a modern anchor. Smaller communities and named locales such as Dilworth, Empire, Campbellville, and Debardeleben are scattered across the terrain, connected by a dense network of local roads like Riggs Chapel Rd and Campbellville Rd. Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named sites, from the numerous burial grounds including Drummond Cemetery and New Canaan Cemetery to geographic features like Drummond Bend, Magbee Bend, and Allen Ridge. The presence of the Bush Tower and various hollows like Rocky Hollow and Tucker Hollow further detail the local topography.
