About this map

Bellamy stands as a focal point in this eastern Sumter County landscape, where the Sucarnoochee River and its many tributaries, including Alamuchee Creek and Opossum Cr, carve through the terrain. The map captures a transition between established settlements and rural crossroads, connected by a network of local routes like Lynn Bennett Rd and Al-17. The infrastructure reflects a long-standing agricultural and timber-linked economy, evidenced by the numerous named creek systems such as Cotohaga Cr and Second Cr that drain the territory.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by specific landmarks such as Hicks Cem and Friendship Cem, alongside the small communities of Intercourse and Lilita. The southern portion of the map is defined by distinct topographical rises like Soctum Hill near the headwaters of Soctum Cr. This survey provides a clear view of the rural road patterns and family-named routes, such as BB Bragg Rd and Joe Ben Rd, which characterize the settlement patterns of the Alabama Black Belt.
