2012 Map of Amory SW

About this map

Athens and the surrounding Monroe County countryside are defined by a network of creeks and scattered rural settlements just east of the Tombigbee River. This landscape is marked by numerous family and community burial grounds, including Buckingham Cem, Burns Cem, and the McDuffie Cemetery. The local transport network is anchored by Old Highway 45 S and Old Highway 25, which cut through a terrain drained by Butler Cr and Stonewall Cr. To the north, the Monroe County Airport sits near the headwaters of Tadpole Cr. This 2012 survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, where legacy names like Lackey and Westville remain tied to the land near Weeks Lake and the various branches of Wilson Cr.
