About this map

Ethelsville and the surrounding rural communities of Macedonia and McShan define this pocket of Pickens County, Alabama. The landscape is characterized by its numerous family and church burial grounds, including Providence Cemetery in the north and the Old Mount Moriah Cemetery to the east. These sites, along with the Ethelsville Post Office and McShan Post Office, provide essential geographic anchors for genealogists tracing local family lineages.

The area's drainage is managed by a network of waterways such as Magby Creek, Burdine Creek, and Kincaide Creek. Man-made alterations to the terrain are evident at Shelton Lake, created by the Shelton Dam, and McShan Lake further south. The settlement pattern follows the established road network, with clusters of activity near Delma and Stafford, connected by routes like Cranberry Rd and Yorkville Rd.
