About this map

Vernon and the surrounding Lamar County countryside are defined by a network of rural roads and family cemeteries that reflect generations of settlement. This area near the Alabama-Mississippi border is drained by the meandering Yellow Cr and its tributaries, including Cut Bank Cr and Wilson Cr. The landscape is dotted with small-scale water features like Rogers Lake, Gault Lake, and McGee Lake, while the presence of Stillman Ditch suggests historical efforts to manage the wetlands along the creek bottoms.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites scattered across the township lines, from the Furnace Hill Cem near the northern border to Old Asbury Cem and Mount Pleasant Cem further south. These sites, often located near local thoroughfares like McGill Gin Rd and Bobo Loop, serve as anchors for the community of Molloy and other outlying homesteads in this quiet pocket of West Alabama.
