About this map

Crawford and the surrounding borderlands of Lee and Russell Counties are defined by a complex network of creeks and small impoundments. The landscape is structured around the drainage of Little Uchee Creek and Uchee Creek, which are spanned by local landmarks such as Bishops Bridge and Hichitee Bridge. This area exhibits a pattern of rural settlement where family names are etched into the geography, seen in the numerous private ponds like Lydells Pond and Gullatts Lake.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several burial grounds, including Crawford Cem, Jowers Cem, and the Phillips-Barnett Cemetery. The presence of the Finkley Farm Airport and a dense network of county roads, such as Meadows Mill Rd and Flournoy Rd, indicates the transition from traditional agriculture to more modern rural land use. The map also captures the smaller community of Hugley, offering a detailed look at the eastern Alabama countryside before recent decades of suburban expansion.
