About this map

Greensboro serves as the central hub of this West Alabama landscape, where residential streets like Main St and 1st St extend from the town center. The area is dense with family and community burial grounds, including the large Oakwood Cemetery and Greensboro Cemetery within the city limits, while more isolated sites such as Redick Cemetery, Burton Cemetery, and Saint Marys Cemetery are scattered throughout the rural periphery.

Water management is a defining characteristic of the terrain, visible through a complex system of private and agricultural reservoirs. These include the Kyser Lakes, Lewis Lawson Lake Number Five, and the Lenson Montz Ponds. Moving south from the city toward Rosemary, the landscape is drained by Little Prairie Creek and Whitsitt Creek. This map captures a modern view of the Hale County seat, documenting its transition from a historic market town to a community defined by its local roads and managed waterways.
