2024 Map of Fernbank

About this map

Fernbank anchors this landscape in western Alabama, positioned just north of the Lamar Co Pickens Co boundary. The area is defined by the winding paths of Luxapallila Creek and Mud Creek, which flow through a mix of wooded terrain and lowlands. Local genealogy is well-documented through several historic burial sites, including Old Harmony Cem, Friendship Cem, and Spring Hill Cem. Near the southern edge, the Andrews Chapel Cem sits along Liberty Rd. The map also illustrates private and agricultural land management through the recurring Farm Service Agency Interest of Alabama designations. To the west, the presence of Speeds Lake and Boggess Lake indicates a watery, low-lying environment near the Caston Rd corridor. This survey provides a contemporary look at the rural road network and water bodies that have long shaped the Lamar County borderlands.
