2011 Map of Glenwood

About this map

Conecuh River meanders through the southeastern corner of this quadrangle, defining a landscape of low-lying wetlands and scattered ponds near Glenwood. The area is characterized by a high density of named water features and small agricultural crossroads, reflecting a rural Alabama community deeply tied to its hydrology. Local genealogy is well-supported by the inclusion of several burying grounds, including Emmaus Cemetery, Bethel Cemetery, and Providence Cemetery. Small named settlements like Vidette, Social Town, and Shirleys Crossroads are connected by a network of county roads such as County Hwy 28 and the Patsburg Hwy. Of particular note is the Luverne Lookout Tower, situated near Limesink Pond, while various impoundments like Sluggs Dam and Rays Pond Dam show how the local creeks have been managed for land use.
