2018 Map of Fort Deposit

About this map

Fort Deposit stands as the primary hub in this portion of the Black Belt, where the rolling landscape of Lowndes County meets Butler County. The terrain is defined by a series of north-south running ridges and creek valleys, notably Barganier Hill and the Gilmer Hills. The map documents a scattered network of rural settlements and family burial grounds, including Myrtlewood Cem and Springhill Cem, which provide essential points of reference for local family history. To the south, the village of Searcy and the community of Spring Hill are connected by a web of county roads such as Wagon Wheel Rd and Happy Hollow Rd. The low-lying areas are dominated by significant wetlands, most notably the Pigeon Creek Swamp and the waters of Indian Cr and Piney Woods Cr.
