2020 Map of Hightogy

About this map

Vernon and the rural settlements of Hightogy and Kingville occupy a landscape defined by the intricate drainage networks of Yellow Creek and Hells Creek. This 2020 map documents the enduring character of Lamar County, where numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Meadow Branch Cem and Mount Olive Cem, are scattered throughout the countryside. The road network remains grounded in historical routes like Old Hwy 18 and Old Reform Rd, which connect these small hubs through the rolling terrain. The map's high density of cemeteries, including Shiloh Cem and Christian Chapel Cem, provides significant value for genealogists and local historians tracing the lineage of families in this corner of Alabama near the Mississippi border.
