2014 Map of Belk

About this map

Luxapallila Creek bisects this portion of the Alabama landscape, winding through a region where the border of Lamar and Fayette counties is defined by a straight survey line. The small settlement of Belk serves as a local hub near the confluence of Beaver Cr and the main creek, while Mount Vernon and Covin anchor the northern and eastern reaches. The area is characterized by numerous small family and community cemeteries, such as Wesleys Chapel Cem, Bethabra Cem, and New Friendship Cem, which are scattered among the ridges and hollows. Elevation rises notably toward the southeast at Scareum Mtn, overlooking Baptist Lake. The map reveals a dense network of local roads like Tom Duck Rd and Rowland Cemetery Rd, tracing the paths between these long-standing rural communities and their historic burial grounds.
