About this map

Black Warrior National Forest covers much of this mid-1930s landscape, which spans the boundary of Lawrence and Winston counties. The area is defined by the Tennessee Basin Divide, where waters flow north toward the Tennessee River or south into the Black Warrior drainage. Small rural communities like Upshaw and Lindsay Hall anchor the local geography, connected by a network of trails and unimproved roads.

Genealogical and local history details are preserved in locations such as Friendship Ch, the Friendship Cem, and Templeton Sch. The prominence of fire lookouts, including Fire Tower No 3 and Eastern Fire Tower, indicates the active management of the forest during this era. The terrain itself transitions across Sand Mountain, marked by numerous family-named peaks and hollows like High House Hill and Wiggins Cove.
