About this map

Hells Creek meanders through this portion of Lamar County, defining a landscape marked by small rural settlements and active natural resource extraction. The community of Hightogy sits centrally, serving as a hub for local routes like Old Reform Rd and Zion Shiloh RD. To the north and west, the Hells Creek Gas Field and Mount Zion Gas Field indicate the industrial character of the region.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of burial sites throughout this terrain, including the Christian Chapel Cemetery, Shiloh Cemetery, and the South Carolina Cemetery. These sites, along with the settlements of Kingville and Crossville, illustrate the deep-rooted family ties in this corner of Alabama. Tributaries like Yellow Creek, Buck Creek, and Cooper Creek provide a natural drainage network that has historically influenced the placement of farms and cemeteries across the county.
