2018 Map of Casemore

About this map

Lock Five and the adjacent Demopolis Lake dominate the western edge of this landscape, marking a critical point of navigation and water control where the Black Warrior River flows through the Black Belt. Moving east from the riverbanks, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of rural hamlets and agricultural lands, centered around the small communities of Cedarville, Casemore, and Oak Grove. The map is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous family and community burial grounds such as Saint Andrews Cem, Mount Olive Cem, and the Willis-Scott Cem. Drainage patterns are defined by the meandering courses of Big Prairie Creek and Little Prairie Cr, which slice through the flatlands. Further south, the settlement of Prairieville sits along a network of county roads, providing a clear picture of modern land use and historical settlement patterns in Hale and Marengo counties.
