About this map

Alamo serves as the focal point of this Wheeler County landscape, situated at the intersection of a regional Pipeline and the Seaboard Coast Line railroad. The map illustrates a rural environment defined by the winding paths of Alligator Creek and Little Creek, where small family and community burial grounds are scattered throughout the countryside. These sites, including Smith Cem, Grimes Cem, and the Little Rock Ch Cem, provide significant genealogical markers for researchers tracing local lineages.

South of the main settlement, Roadside Park and the Alamo Cem mark the transition toward more open terrain. To the north, the convergence of Laurens Co and Wheeler Co boundaries highlights the historical division of these agricultural lands. Rural worship is centered around longstanding congregations such as Union Springs Ch and Mt Carmel Ch, which anchored the social life of the area during the mid-to-late twentieth century.
