About this map

Marvyn and Whatley Cross Road anchor this rural Lee County landscape, defined by a complex network of creeks and small impoundments. The terrain is intricately carved by Uchee Creek, Watula Creek, and Snake Creek, which feed into various privately named water bodies such as Lake Cherry and the series of Bruce Ponds. These water features, including Bruce Pond Number Two and Bruce Pond Number Four, suggest a history of local land management and agricultural water use.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find several scattered burying grounds, such as Jenkins Cemetery, Watoola Cemetery, and Union Cemetery near Uhland. The map illustrates a transition from larger named settlements like Dupree to quiet intersections like Corbett Crossroad, all connected by an extensive system of secondary routes. The presence of Canaan Cemetery in the southeastern quadrant further highlights the dispersed community nodes that define this part of the Alabama countryside.
