About this map

Locust Fork defines the western edge of this Alabama landscape, where the Seaboard rail line and the County Line between Blount and Jefferson counties shape the region's development. Rural life in the mid-20th century is centered around community hubs like Bradford (Dixiana PO) and Trafford, supported by a network of local institutions including Sterling Sch and several country churches like Bethlehem Ch and Holston Chapel.

Industrial activity is evident in the extensive Strip Mines north of Nyota, contrasting with the recreational and residential areas near Spring Valley Lakes and Lake Sueann. The terrain transitions from the river lowlands at Deans Ferry Bridge to the prominent heights of Sand Mountain in the southeast. This survey preserves the exact locations of many family-named landmarks and rural cemeteries, such as Philadelphia Cem Ch and Hughes Cem, which provide essential points of reference for local historians and genealogists.
