About this map

Fullers Crossroads serves as a central hub in this rural Crenshaw County landscape, where the agricultural character of the early 1970s is evident in the network of country roads and scattered settlements. Small communities like Centenary and Live Oak are anchored by local landmarks such as Mt Pleasant Ch and Longs Chapel. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Little Patsaliga Creek and Pond Creek, with numerous smaller tributaries like Briar Branch and Huckleberry Branch carving through the wooded hills.

Evidence of local industry is visible through multiple Strip Mines and Strip Mine operations located near Mill Creek and Sweetwater Creek. For family historians, the presence of several named cemeteries including Mitchell Cem, Thompson Cem, and Lightfoot Cem, alongside numerous country churches like Arlena Ch and Providence Ch, provides a clear view of the area's social geography before late-century modernization.
