About this map

The Black Belt prairie of west-central Alabama is defined here by a network of slow-moving waterways and scattered family burial grounds. Big Prairie Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Prairie Cr and Big German Cr, meander through a landscape historically dominated by large-scale agriculture and rural settlement. Along the western edge, the Black Warrior River forms the boundary between Hale and Greene counties, featuring Lock Five and the expansive Demopolis Lake.

Genealogists will find a high density of named family and church cemeteries such as Saint Andrews Cem, Evening Star Cem, and Willis Scott Cem. Small communities like Prairieville, Oak Grove, and Cedarville are connected by a grid of county roads and state highways, reflecting a settled interior that maintains its agrarian character despite the proximity to the river's industrial navigation channel.
