2020 Map of Townley

About this map

The settlement of Townley and its surrounding hills dominate this Walker County landscape, where the headwaters of several drainages meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of named hollows and hills, such as Gum Suck Hollow, Guthrie Hollow, and Lockhart Hill, reflecting a long history of local naming conventions tied to families and early settlers. A remarkable concentration of small family and community burial grounds is scattered across the topography, including Fike and Inman Cem, Kings Cem, and Lawson Cem. These sites, often positioned on high ground near watercourses like Horse Cr and Lost Creek, offer significant points of interest for genealogists tracing regional lineages. The survey also captures the relationship between small hamlets like Holly Grove and Cedrum and the local road systems, including the notably named Copperhead Rd and Coal Valley RD.
