About this map

Vernon serves as a primary local center in this 1967 survey of Lamar County, Alabama. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Yellow Creek, Wilson Creek, and Watson Creek, which cut through the terrain to create a network of drainage systems such as the Stillman Ditch. This era shows a community deeply rooted in its local institutions, evidenced by the distribution of numerous country churches and schools like the Lamar County Training Sch and Todd High Sch.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of family-named landmarks and resting places, including the Old Asbury Cem, Lampkin Cem, and Sailor Cem. Small-scale industrial activity is scattered throughout the area in the form of several Gravel Pits, while water bodies like Rogers Lake and Gault Lake punctuate the rural landscape. The map also records the border with Mississippi, marked near the confluence of Cut Bank Creek.
