1951 Map of Tutwiler School

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

The confluence of the Black Warrior River and its numerous tributaries defines this landscape on the border of Walker and Tuscaloosa counties. In the early 1950s, the recently formed Bankhead Lake flooded the lower reaches of White Oak Creek and Shoal Creek, altering the local geography. Small upland communities like Browntown, Fairview, and The Wye sit along the ridges, connected by winding roads and landmarks like Wallace Bridge. Local life centered around institutions such as Tutwiler School and Reynolds Sch, alongside rural congregations at Freewell Ch and Cedar Creek Ch. The presence of the High Hill Fire Tower underscores the heavily wooded nature of this terrain, where settlement patterns followed the high ground between deeply incised creek valleys like Indian Creek and Clifty Creek.
