About this map

The Tombigbee River basin dominates the western edge of this survey, where the landscape transitions into the rolling terrain of Monroe County. Small rural settlements like Lackey and Athens anchor the interior, connected by a network of secondary roads such as Old Hwy 45 and Old Columbus Rd. The area is notably dense with family and community burial grounds, including Beeks Cem, Burns Cem, and Berry Cem, which provide significant points of interest for genealogical research. To the northwest, the Monroe County Airport sits near the outskirts of Aberdeen, while the eastern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the headwaters of numerous creeks, such as Stonewall Cr and Butler Cr, flowing toward the river valley. The map reveals a persistent pattern of rural land use, where small-scale farming and timber interests are interspersed with historic local landmarks like Pleasant Hill Cem and New Prospect Cem.
