2014 Map of Carlowville

About this map

The boundary between Dallas Co and Wilcox Co divides this rural landscape, which is defined by a network of small agricultural settlements and winding watercourses. Richmond sits in the north, while the village of Carlowville serves as a local hub near Carlowville Community Cemetery and Saint Pauls Cemetery. The terrain is shaped by the drainage basins of several prominent creeks, including Swift Creek, Snake Creek, and Institute Creek, which flow through the dissected uplands marked by elevations like Morgan Hill and Wildcat Hill. The road network, including Al-89, connects these higher ridges with southern outposts like Ackerville and Snow Hill, situated near the wide basin of Pine Barren Creek. This survey captures the enduring settlement patterns of Alabama’s Black Belt, where community life remains centered around established family crossroads and parish burial grounds.
