About this map

Forkland and its surrounding Greene County countryside are defined by the winding hydrology of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway and Demopolis Lake at the southern boundary. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape of small settlements and family-named landforms, such as Burton Hill, Hagan Hill, and Bullocks Hill. The density of community landmarks is particularly high, with numerous rural cemeteries like Hard Bargain Cemetery, Morning Star Cemetery, and Little Zion Cemetery dotting the terrain between Hagan Swamp and the various creek beds.

Transportation patterns center on several county roads connecting the small locales of Thornhill, Rosemont, and Tishabee. Large bodies of water like Johnstons Lake Number Three and Reed Lake punctuate the lowland areas west of the McConnico Creek drainage. The map provides a detailed record of local genealogy through its named burial grounds, from Bethlehem Cemetery in the north to Brasfield Cemetery in the south, reflecting generations of settlement in this river-bordering region.
