2011 Map of Banks

About this map

Banks serves as a central hub in this corner of Alabama, where the Banks Post Office and Banks Cemetery anchor a landscape defined by small settlements and family burial grounds. The area is intersected by several watercourses including Richland Creek and Whitewater Creek, which flow through a terrain marked by distinctive local names like Devil Neck. Genealogists will find a high density of family-named landmarks such as Hussey Cemetery, Alexander Cemetery, and Wilson Cemetery, alongside community centers like the Jerusalem Campground. These features reflect a deeply rooted rural society that has maintained its geographic identity through the decades. Further east, the settlements of Monticello and Buckhorn are connected by a network of county roads, while to the south, the village of Pronto sits near Wilsons Pond and Holmes Pond. This 2011 survey documents a community where legacy and land remain closely intertwined.
