About this map

Cotton Valley and Davisville sit at the center of this rural Macon County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of cemeteries and small private water impoundments. The map reveals a high concentration of local burial grounds, such as Shiloh Cemetery, Fort Cemetery, and Saint Mark Cemetery, which are often the primary remaining markers of early family landholdings and rural congregations in this part of Alabama.

Hydrology plays a significant role in the local geography, with numerous named dams like the W M Russell Junior Dam and the H A Vaughn Junior Number 1 Dam creating small lakes such as Lake Russell and the curiously named Old Hog Wallow Lake. These man-made features punctuate the natural flow of Calebee Creek and Persimmon Creek, illustrating a long-standing pattern of water management for agricultural or private use across the county.
