About this map

Fountain and Mexia anchor this corner of Monroe County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Big Flat Creek and its many tributaries. The area is marked by a deep-rooted rural character, with family-named landmarks like W Sam Carpenters Lake and Graham Bridge indicating the local importance of water access. The terrain around Mineral Springs suggests the natural features that historically influenced settlement patterns in this part of Alabama.

Genealogists will find significant value in the concentration of local burial grounds, including Carry Mount Cem, Old Salem Cem, and the Mexia Cem. The map traces a network of older thoroughfares like Old Salem Rd and Old House Rd, which connect the small communities of Perdue Hill to the southwest with the creek-fed valleys to the north. These roads and cemeteries provide a clear framework for understanding the social geography of the township and range divisions across this 2018 survey.
