About this map

Windham Springs serves as the focal point for this landscape in northwestern Tuscaloosa County, where the topography is defined by the extensive reach of Holt Lake and a dense network of watercourses. The map documents a rural Alabama environment characterized by significant family and community landmarks, including the Spencer Hill Cemetery and Piney Wood Cemetery. These sites, along with names like Walton Road Ford, offer clear evidence of the area's established historical connections and local travel patterns.

Drainage systems are particularly prominent, with Blue Creek, Yellow Creek, and Cripple Creek dissecting the terrain. The road network, featuring routes such as Watermelon Rd and Old Lock 15 Rd, provides a framework for understanding contemporary access to the shoreline and interior timberlands. This 2011 survey records the intersection of modern lake-front development with traditional rural Alabama land use, preserving a record of the landscape's hydrologic and genealogical character.
