About this map

Marvyn and Uhland anchor this rural landscape in eastern Alabama, situated along the border of Lee and Russell counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of water bodies and family-named landmarks, reflecting a deep-seated agricultural and community heritage. Small cemeteries such as Watoola Cem, Jenkins Cem, and Dupree Cem are scattered across the quadrangle, often located near historical crossroads or farmsteads. These sites, along with the Union Cem and Canaan Cem, provide significant touchpoints for genealogical research in this portion of the coastal plain.

Water plays a central role in the local geography, with numerous impoundments and creeks like Bruce Pond Number One, Bruce Pond Number Two, and the meandering Uchee Cr. The presence of private airfields, including Flying C's Plantation Airport and Finkley Farm Airport, suggests the large-scale nature of land ownership and modern agricultural operations. The map also traces the transition from Whatley Cross Road in the north down toward the southern reaches of the county line, following traditional routes through timber and farmland.
