About this map

Fairview and Browntown anchor this rural landscape where the boundaries of Walker, Tuscaloosa, and Jefferson counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of creek valleys and ridges, including Thompson Mtn in the west and Chapel Hill in the northeast. Genealogy researchers will find landmarks like Fairview Cem and Miller Cem, alongside localized settlements such as Three Forks.

The southern portion of the area is dominated by the winding path of Bankhead Lake, a significant widening of the river system that creates prominent geographic features like Humber Bend, Heards Bend, and Dunns Bend. These waterways are fed by numerous tributaries including Walker County Shoal Creek and White Oak Creek. The map also documents the localized infrastructure of the era, from the Tutwiler School to the Wallace Bridge crossing over the interior drainages.
