About this map

The settlement of Mosses and the community of Beechwood anchor this survey of rural Lowndes County. The landscape is defined by its agrarian roots and scattered burial grounds, such as the Bogahomia Cem near Ash Creek Rd and the Rudolph Hill Cem to the south. The drainage patterns of the Black Belt are visible through features like Kellys Ditch and the Rambo Branch, which navigate the low-lying areas between family-named points like Hicks Hill.

Family history is particularly accessible here through the numerous named cemeteries that dot the landscape, including Garr Cem, Hope Well Cem, and Turners Cem. The road network, including Mary J Jackson Rd and Silver Creek Rd, connects these small hubs and water bodies like Martins Lake and Hollidays Pond. This detailed view of the terrain provides a look at the contemporary configuration of these long-established Alabama communities.
