2011 Map of Tutwiler School

About this map

Bankhead Lake dominates the southeastern corner of this landscape, its waters filling the convoluted bends of the Black Warrior River system. The terrain is defined by its drainage into the lake, featuring a dense network of tributaries such as Walker County Shoal Creek and Clifty Creek. Small communities like Fairview, Browntown, and Tutwiler are scattered across the higher ground, connected by a winding road network that includes Tutwiler Rd and Franklin Ferry Rd. The presence of High Hill Fire Tower and Miller Cemetery near Chapel Hill suggests a traditional rural structure surviving alongside specialized developments like Drummond Airport and the riverside Henderson Camp. This 2011 survey captures the area's transition between secluded upland settlements and the active recreational and industrial access points along the impounded river.
