About this map

Fort Deposit stands as a central hub on the southern edge of the Lowndes-Butler county line, where the landscape transitions from the elevations of Barganier Hill and the Gilmer Hills into the bottomlands of the Pigeon Creek Swamp. This modern survey reveals a highly developed network of local roads and state routes, including Federal Rd and Old Fort Rd, which connect the town to outlying communities like Searcy and Spring Hill.

For those researching family heritage, the map is densely marked with rural burial grounds such as Myrtlewood Cem, Antioch East Cem, and Moriah Cem. The presence of the Fort Deposit-Lowndes County Airport and the engineered corridor of the interstate illustrate the region's contemporary infrastructure, while the winding paths of Pigeon Cr and Mussel Cr maintain the traditional hydrological patterns of this Alabama Black Belt landscape.
