About this map

The Black Warrior River carves through this Alabama landscape, separating Northport from the expanding urban core of Tuscaloosa. As of 2020, the area is defined by its prominent academic and civic institutions, most notably The University of Alabama and Stillman College. The map reveals the intricate network of neighborhoods and historic hills that characterize the riverfront, including Childress Hill, River Hill, and Holman Hill. Crossing the water, the Woolsey Finnell Bridge and Hugh R Thomas Bridge serve as critical arteries for a city deeply integrated with its riverine geography.

Genealogists and local researchers will find a significant concentration of burial sites and community centers, from the Tuscaloosa County Courthouse to numerous local grounds like Evergreen Cem, Alberta Cem, and Stone Cem. The southern reach of the quadrangle transitions into industrial and suburban landscapes, passing through Taylorville and reaching toward the wetlands of Moody Swamp. This map provides a detailed view of the regional infrastructure, including the Tuscaloosa Regional Airport and the complex drainage of Cribbs Mill Cr and Cypress Cr.
