2018 Map of Town Creek

About this map

Town Creek serves as the central hub of this North Alabama landscape, situated at the junction of the railroad and the Alt 72 corridor. The map reveals a high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Elmwood Cem, Abernathy Cem, and Scruggs Cem, reflecting deep-rooted generational ties to the land. This agricultural and wooded area is defined by its complex water network, where Fluitt Creek and the Boatwright Slough meander through the Big Bend area. To the south, the topography transitions into more prominent peaks like Patrick Mtn and Brooks Spring Mtn. Historical crossings such as Pruett Bridge and King Bridge connect the smaller settlements of Cottontown and Midway to the larger transportation veins, illustrating the layout of rural Colbert and Lawrence counties in the late 2010s.
