1949 Map of Wiley

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Upper Sulphur Springs Church and the nearby Lower Sulphur Springs Church anchor a landscape defined by the winding drainages of the Alabama hill country during the late 1940s. The terrain is a complex network of ridges and hollows, where small settlements like Sandtown and Wiley are connected by narrow routes such as Sterling Rd and Cheatham Road. The local economy of this era is visible through the presence of a Strip Mine near the northern boundary, signifying the industrial transition of the coal-rich region. To the southeast, the wide waters of Bankhead Lake mark the confluence of Big Yellow Creek and other major tributaries. Genealogists will find significant detail in the placement of the Brandon Sch, the Earnest Cem, and the Flatwoods Cem, providing a precise look at the community structure of Tuscaloosa and Fayette counties before later 20th-century development.
