2018 Map of Danielsville

About this map

The agrarian landscape of the rural Alabama Wiregrass region is documented here, centered on the community of Danielsville and the crossing at Ellis Crossroads. The map reveals a deeply etched drainage pattern defined by the Moseley Mill Cr and Spring Cr systems, where names like Moseley Mill suggest a history of water-powered industry along these smaller tributaries. The presence of numerous family and community cemeteries, such as Oak Bowery Cem and the Panola Cem, provides a detailed record of the early settlements that once anchored this portion of Crenshaw and Lowndes Counties. This survey illustrates the intricate network of local routes like the Meriwether Trl, which follow the contours of the land between the wetlands of Pigeon Creek Swamp and the headwaters of Little Patsaliga Cr, maintaining the character of a region defined by its creeks and small-scale farming.
