2018 Map of Bellamy

About this map

Bellamy and the uniquely named settlement of Intercourse anchor this 2018 survey of western Alabama. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Sucarnoochee River and Alamuchee Creek in the north, giving way to a dense network of smaller drainage systems such as Cotohaga Cr, Polecat Cr, and Soctum Cr in the south. This region is characterized by small rural communities and family-named landmarks, offering clear documentation of local burial sites like Friendship Cem and Hicks Cem. The terrain rises to Soctum Hill in the southeast, while a complex grid of local roads, including Lynn Bennett Rd and Church Rd, connects these isolated points. The mapping reveals a pattern of rural land use where small-scale settlements like Lilita persist alongside significant natural water systems, providing a detailed look at Sumter County's modern topography.
