About this map

Meridian dominates the northern portion of this landscape, its urban grid transitioning into the rolling terrain of southern Lauderdale County. Local history is deeply rooted in the numerous burial grounds scattered throughout the area, including the central Rose Hill Cem, the McLemore Cem, and Saint Patricks Cem. The city’s reach extends south through Mount Barton and into more rural settlements like Stinson and Zero.

Water plays a significant role in the topography, with Sowashee Cr winding through the outskirts of the city while Bonita Reservoir and Lakemont Lake provide substantial water features to the east. Transportation infrastructure is well-defined by the presence of Key Field Airport and the corridor along Railroad St. To the south, the landscape becomes increasingly defined by its drainage basins, including Graham Mill Cr and Coats Cr, which flow through a network of rural homesteads and woodlots.
