1951 Map of Wiley

About this map

The rolling Flatwoods of northern Tuscaloosa County are defined by a complex network of creeks and ridges, surveyed here in the years following World War II. At this time, the rural landscape is anchored by small communities like Sandtown and Wiley, and a high density of country churches and schools that served the surrounding farmsteads. Features like Brandon Sch and the neighboring Upper Sulphur Springs Church and Lower Sulphur Springs Church highlight the centers of local social life. In the southeastern corner, the waters of the Warrior River system are visible at Bankhead Lake, where the terrain drops toward the river valley. The map documents numerous family-named landmarks and local roads such as Sterling Rd and Bagwell Road, providing a detailed view of the area's geography before more modern developments altered these backcountry routes.
