2011 Map of Crawford

About this map

Crawford serves as a central hub in this section of Russell County, where local roads such as Lee Road 179 and Lee Road 206 converge near the Crawford Cemetery. The landscape is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Island Creek, Maringo Creek, and Little Uchee Creek, which feed into numerous named reservoirs like Williams Lake and Dudley Lake. This hydrological pattern is reflected in the many small bridges and dams throughout the area, such as Bishops Bridge and the Heath Dam. To the east, the East Alabama Motor Speedway stands out as a prominent landmark near Little Uchee Bridge. Southward, the settlement of Parkmanville is situated near Uchee Creek, illustrating the long-standing reliance on these waterways for defining community boundaries and infrastructure. Genealogists will find interest in the scattered burial grounds, including the Bennett Cemetery and Jowers Cemetery, which anchor the rural landscape.
