About this map

The Sumter and Choctaw Railroad and the Alabama Great Southern lines define the industrial and transit corridor of this Sumter County landscape. The settlement of Bellamy serves as a focal point, featuring a concentrated cluster of structures including a Substa, Sewage Disposal plant, and local congregations like Morning Star Ch and Lamkin Ch. The terrain is deeply etched by the Sucarnoochee River and its numerous tributaries, such as Little Fourth Creek and Caterpillar Creek.

Rural community life is anchored by a high density of country churches and small stations, including Curl Station, Lilita, and the uniquely named Intercourse. To the south, the Kinterbish Wildlife Management Area covers a significant portion of the territory, through which Brockway Creek and Polecat Creek flow. Family and community history is preserved through scattered landmarks like Mt Zion Ch, Friendship Ch, and Elizabeth Ch, illustrating the distributed settlement pattern common to this era of Alabama history.
