2020 Map of Boyd

About this map

York anchors the southern portion of this Sumter County landscape, where the local terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways feeding into the Sucarnoochee River. Small rural settlements like Payneville, Boyd, and Millville are connected by a web of county roads and named routes such as Fred Dial Rd and Browns Towe Rd. The map reveals a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, including the Old Mount Olive Cem and Mount Herman Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this part of Alabama. The geography is further characterized by numerous creek systems, from Barebone Cr to White Hall Cr, which have historically shaped the agricultural and residential patterns of the area. Modern developments like Elmwood Memorial Estates and the Sumter Academy Rd corridor indicate the evolving land use around the northern outskirts of the town of York.
