About this map

The Black Warrior River flows through the southeastern portion of this landscape, forming complex oxbows and bends like Humber Bend and Heards Bend. This riverine environment, now part of Bankhead Lake, defines the local geography where Walker, Tuscaloosa, and Jefferson counties meet. The interior is characterized by a network of creeks, including White Oak Creek and Walker County Shoal Creek, which cut through the ridges and hollows of the Alabama coal country.

Small settlements such as Tutwiler, Fairview, and Browntown are connected by a web of rural roads, including Tutwiler Rd and Brown Town Rd. Evidence of the area's social history is found at the Tutwiler School (Historical) and local burying grounds like Fairview Cem and Miller Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the terrain before modern development, noting landmarks such as Wallace Bridge and Black Rock Shoals.
