About this map

The town of Alamo serves as the central hub of this Wheeler County landscape, where the street grid of Towns Ave, Oxford St, and Lucile Ave gives way to a network of rural routes. Water management is a defining characteristic of the surrounding countryside, evidenced by numerous man-made bodies of water such as Jordan Lake, Morris Lake, and O'Quinns Pond, each supported by its own dam. These reservoirs are fed by a complex drainage system including Alligator Creek, Buck Creek, and Little Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and burial grounds across the quadrangle. From the McRae Cemetery near the town center to the outlying Smith Cemetery, Clark Cemetery, and Stuart Cemetery, the map preserves the names of early resident families. The landscape is also etched with long-standing thoroughfares such as Scotland Rd and Snow Hill Rd, which connect the town to the agricultural periphery.
