About this map

The Livingston area serves as a primary hub of education and transport in western Alabama, centered on the campus of Livingston University. The Sucarnoochee River and Alamuchee Creek drain the surrounding landscape, which is marked by a network of smaller tributaries like Whiterock Creek and Yellow Creek. This survey captures the town's social fabric through its numerous community landmarks, including the County Training Sch and several recreational spaces such as Livingston Park and the Livingston Memorial Gardens.

The Southern railroad line runs directly through the center of the county seat, while outlying areas like Hixon are defined by family-named sites and rural institutions. Genealogists may find value in the scattered burial grounds like Johnson Cem and Potts Cem, as well as the prominent Shady Grove Ch Cem. The presence of a Drive-in Theater and several water management features, including a Sewage Disposal Pond and Gaging Station, reflects the mid-century infrastructure and local culture of Sumter County.
