About this map

Luxapalila Creek and Musgrove Cr carve through this section of Fayette and Marion Counties, creating a landscape defined by its riparian networks and scattered rural settlements. Just south of Winfield, the corridor along US Highway 43 connects smaller communities like Stewart and Glen Allen, where the terrain begins to rise away from the floodplain of the Sipsey River. The density of family and community burial grounds, such as Hodge Chapel Cem, Gilpin Cem, and Shirley Cem, provides a significant genealogical map of the region's heritage.

Water features like Watkins Lake and Killingsworth Lake are prominent landmarks in the southern portion of the quadrangle, while the presence of the Bird Nest Airport reflects the modernization of local infrastructure. This 2014 survey documents the persistence of the traditional road network, including historic routes like Byars Xing and Old Union Rd, which continue to link established farms and homesteads.
