About this map

Furman and Minter anchor the rural landscape of the Black Belt region, where the borders of Dallas, Lowndes, and Wilcox counties converge. This 2014 survey captures a terrain defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the winding course of Cedar Cr and Wagontongue Cr. The map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting numerous family-named landmarks and small burial grounds such as Soles Cem, Cox Cem, and the McColough Cem.

Secondary roads like Al-21 and CR-59 link these quiet hamlets, tracing the path toward Farmersville in the northeast. The distribution of features like Thomas Norris Pond and R Cullpepper Lake among the creek valleys illustrates a long-standing reliance on local water sources. The proximity of both the Old Snow Hill Cem and Snow Hill Cem near the southern boundary suggests a deep local history tied to these specific rural settlements and their surrounding farmsteads.
