2018 Map of Kirk

About this map

Kirk and Pleasant Grove anchor this rural landscape in the western Alabama interior, where the topography is defined by the winding course of the Sipsey River as it crosses the Pickens Co Greene Co line. The settlement pattern is largely influenced by the drainage networks of Bear Cr and Sneads Cr, with small communities and family sites linked by a web of local roads such as Benevola Rd and Ray Bass Rd. For those tracing local heritage, several burial grounds are preserved across these hills, including Liberty Cem, Union Cem, and Mitchell Cem. The presence of landmarks like Lindsey Tower Rd and Longview Lake suggests a landscape shaped by both forest management and small-scale agriculture at the edge of the Sipsey basin.
