About this map

The town of Luverne and the smaller community of Rutledge anchor this landscape in central Alabama, where the local economy and geography are defined by the winding course of Patsaliga Creek. This 2018 survey illustrates a region characterized by small-scale settlements and agricultural connections, with several legacy burying grounds such as Green Cem and Siloam Cem providing critical data points for family history research. North of the main town site, Frank Sikes Airport marks a modern transport node, while the presence of Cherokee Village and Ivy Creek suggests a pattern of residential clusters scattered among the timber and farm tracts.

Water plays a central role in the topography here, from the expansive Crenshaw County Public Lake to numerous named branches like Beaver Br and Solly Br. The drainage patterns of Little Patsaliga Creek and Dry Cr help delineate the property lines and rural road networks that have structured this county since its early development. For the local historian, the mapping of old routes like Swanner Bridge Rd and Mount Ida Rd offers a way to trace the connectivity between these long-standing communities.
