2011 Map of Gordonsville

About this map

Mosses and Gordonsville anchor this Lowndes County landscape, showing a pattern of small-scale settlement connected by local roads like Mary J Jackson Rd and Black Belt. The area is notably dense with family and community burial grounds, including Hope Well Cemetery, Garr Cemetery, and Bogahoma Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for local genealogy. To the east, the meandering Big Swamp Creek dictates the drainage of the terrain, feeding into several smaller bodies of water such as Martins Lake and Hollidays Pond. The presence of Silver Creek Farm and the Bessie Beck Lake Dam reflects the agricultural and water management practices of the early twenty-first century. These features, alongside landmarks like Hicks Hill and Rudolf Hill, illustrate the intersection of historical family names with the physical geography of the Alabama coastal plain.
