About this map

Millport serves as the central hub of this West Alabama landscape, situated where the lowlands of Luxapallila Creek meet the surrounding hills. The town's grid is dense with local history, featuring sites like Oddfellows Cem and a cluster of family and community roads including Old Kennedy Rd and Savage St. To the east, the neighboring town of Kennedy marks the edge of the quadrangle, connected by the wetlands and tributaries that feed the main creek system.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the countryside, such as Eatman Cem, Macedonia Cem, and Payne Chapel Cem. The terrain is defined by its many small waterways, from Mud Cr in the north to Coal Fire Cr in the south, which historically dictated the placement of homesteads and church communities. This 2018 survey documents the enduring rural character of the Lamar Co and Pickens Co border region.
