2024 Map of Ethelsville

About this map

Ethelsville and its surrounding rural communities are depicted in this Pickens County study, showing a landscape defined by small clusters of settlement and an extensive network of family-named cemeteries. The terrain is characterized by the drainages of Magby Creek and Kincaide Creek, with the town of McShan situated near the southeastern boundary. This area of West Alabama maintains its historical agricultural and timber-land character, with numerous burial grounds like Ethelsville Cem, Strawbridge Cem, and Old Mount Moriah Cem providing critical data points for genealogical research. Small settlements such as Stafford and Macedonia are connected by a web of local routes including Macedonia Rd and Yorkville Rd. The presence of Shelton Lake and Betty's Cove highlights the local water features that shaped the development of these communities.
