2018 Map of Lawrenceville

About this map

Lawrenceville and Richards Crossroads anchor this rural landscape in eastern Alabama, where the transition between the Baker Hill Cuesta and the lower coastal plain is marked by a dense network of creek drainages. The E Fork Choctawhatchee River and its numerous tributaries, including Beaver Cr and Piney Woods Cr, shape the local geography, creating the marshy wetlands surrounding Lake Choctawhatchee. Small agrarian settlements like Edwin, Holley Hill, and Edgefield are connected by a network of historic county roads, while several family and community burial grounds, such as Lawrenceville Cem and Mount Zion Cem, provide significant markers for genealogists. The topography is further defined by prominent rises like Vickers Hill, overlooking the Bowen Schoolhouse Br drainage. This survey reflects the enduring rural character of the Henry and Barbour County line, showing the persistence of traditional land divisions and remote homesteads in the Wiregrass region.
