2011 Map of Ararat

About this map

Ararat and its neighboring rural settlements are situated within the drainage basin of the Tombigbee River, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of creeks and ridges. The presence of the Chappell Hill Oil Field and Wimberly Oil Field indicates an active local energy industry, while small hamlets like Thornton Springs, Lou, and Wimbly are connected by narrow roads such as Wolf Rd and Nosley Rd. Along the river's eastern banks, river-dependent locations like Scruggs Landing and Morgan Bluff overlook Coffeeville Lake. For those researching local family histories, the area is dotted with small burial grounds, including the Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Wilson Cemetery, and Little Cemetery. The terrain is shaped by prominent landforms such as Horne Ridge and Chatman Ridge, which separate the many branches of the Tallawampa Creek system.
