2014 Map of Braggs

About this map

Fostoria and Braggs anchor this interior Alabama landscape where the boundary between Wilcox Co and Lowndes Co meets. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Dry Cedar Creek, Sullivan Br, and Middle Cr, which carve through the rural countryside. Local history is etched into the land through numerous small burial grounds, such as Oliver Cem near Farmersville Rd and New Bethel Cem situated north of the Braggs settlement. The Presence of the Container Corporation Lake indicates the modern industrial land use in this timber-rich region, while roads like Strickland Rd and Al-21 trace the established routes between these unincorporated communities. Genealogists will find interest in the proximity of family-named sites like Sills Cem and Crum Cem that persist in the modern topography.
