2018 Map of Hightogy

About this map

Vernon sits at the northern edge of this Lamar County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of creek valleys and ridges. Small rural centers such as Hightogy, Kingville, and Crossville are connected by a web of local roads including Co Rd 9 and Co Rd 22. The area is notably dense with small family and community burial grounds, which suggests a long-established pattern of dispersed upland settlement. Significant genealogically relevant sites include South Carolina Cem, Walnut Grove Cem, and Christian Chapel Cem. Drainage is provided by numerous named waterways like Hells Creek, Mud Creek, and Mill Creek, which carve out the distinct topography of the region. This 2018 survey reveals the persistent rural character of western Alabama, where historical road names like Old Landfill Rd and Liberty Church Rd reflect the local heritage and community landmarks.
