2018 Map of Melton

About this map

Melton sits at the heart of this Hale County landscape, where the rural topography is defined by an intricate network of family cemeteries and managed waterways. Numerous burial grounds, including Saint Pauls Cem, Mount Zion Cem, and Martian Cem, are scattered across the terrain, reflecting the deep-rooted genealogical history of the area. The map illustrates a transition from the rolling hills in the north to the low-lying wetlands and bend of the Black Warrior River system at Duffys Bend. Extensive water features such as Limestone Lakes, Sullivan Lakes, and the State Cattle Ranch Lakes suggest a landscape heavily utilized for agriculture and aquaculture. The inclusion of the Greensboro Municipal Airport and the boundary between Greene Co and Hale Co provides clear orientation for modern and historical geographic research.
