2020 Map of Lowndesboro

About this map

Lowndesboro and its surrounding hamlets sit just south of the winding border between Lowndes and Autauga counties, defined by the river bars of the Alabama River. The landscape is dotted with small-scale agricultural settlements like Burkville, Robinsons, and Manack, connected by a network of rural roads such as Robinson Switch Rd and Old Selma Rd. Significant for genealogists, the map records a high density of burial grounds including Yankee Town Cem, Pine Grove Cem, and Haigler Cem, which suggest the historic footprint of long-established family homesteads and local communities. The northern edge of the map is shaped by the river's hydrology, featuring landforms like Newport Bar and Huffman Bar alongside numerous creeks and ponds including McQueens Pond and Dickens Pond. This area reflects a quiet, rural character where historical transport routes like Newport Landing Rd once linked the hinterland to the river's commerce.
