2024 Map of Calhoun

About this map

Calhoun serves as the central hub of this Lowndes County landscape, where the rural topography is defined by an intricate network of waterways and modest elevations. The Gilmer Hills and Skid Hill rise above the drainage basins of Fort Deposit Creek and Ballards Creek, illustrating the characteristic drainage patterns of this portion of Alabama. Local history is anchored by sites like the Salem Cem, which marks an established point of community lineage near the western edge of the map. Numerous small water bodies, including Lanes Pond, Hartleys Pond, and Hammond Lake, indicate a region heavily utilized for agriculture or private land management. The road network, comprising routes like Julian Town Rd and Salem Church Rd, reflects a long-standing settlement pattern where family names and local landmarks like Collins Lake dictated the movement of residents through the hills.
