1949 Map of Wiley

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Yellow Creek and its many tributaries, including North Branch and Fourmile Branch, carve through the uplands of the Fayette Co Tuscaloosa Co border in the late 1940s. The landscape is defined by small, dispersed rural communities and centers of worship such as Upper Sulphur Springs Church and Lower Sulphur Springs Church. Local education is centered at Brandon Sch, while small settlements like Wiley, Sandtown, and Wyatt serve as landmarks for regional families. Toward the southeast, the terrain descends to meet the waters of Bankhead Lake where Big Yellow Creek feeds into the larger reservoir system. Notable high points like Upton Hill, Thompson Mtn, and Jess Dunn Hill provide vantage points over the dense network of hollows, including Shop Hollow, where Morris Mill Branch and Whitson Creek navigate the complex topography. This map documents a period before significant modern development, showing the original rural road network including Sterling Rd and Cheatham Road.
