About this map

Sulphur Bluffs and Staley anchor this portion of Walker County, where the expansive waters of Livingston Reservoir define the northern landscape. The map details a transition from the lakeside residential developments like Golden Oaks and Newport Lndg to the traditional rural infrastructure of the interior. A network of creeks, including Shoemake Cr, Browns Cr, and the bifurcated W Carolina Cr and E Carolina Cr, dissect the terrain as it rises toward Rocky Hill and Gospel Hill.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several rural burial sites, including Gospel Hill Cem, Mt Capers Cem, McGown Cem, and Community Relief Cem. The presence of Chapel Cem and the Gospel Hill church suggests longstanding community centers rooted in the local topography. To the south, Palmetto Park sits near Brushy Cr and Palmetto Cr, illustrating the distribution of small settlements and family-named landmarks that persist alongside newer developments.
