About this map

The town of Vernon anchors the upper corner of this Lamar County survey, where the landscape transitions into a network of creek drainages and community landmarks. The topography is defined by the winding paths of Wilson Creek, Cut Bank Creek, and Yellow Creek, which carve through the wooded terrain. Education and faith were central to the area's rural social structure, evidenced by the presence of institutions like the Lamar County Training Sch and Todd High Sch. Community life is further traced through a high concentration of country churches and cemeteries, including Poplar Springs Ch, Murray Chapel, and Old Asbury Cem. Small-scale industry is marked by several Gravel Pits scattered near the watercourses, while Rogers Lake and McGee Lake provide significant local water features. The state line with Mississippi runs along the western edge, marking the boundary for these Alabama hill country settlements.
