About this map

Cedar Creek and its many tributaries, including Dry Cedar Creek and Wagontongue Creek, carve a complex drainage pattern across this rural landscape where Dallas, Lowndes, and Wilcox counties meet. The small settlements of Minter and Farmersville serve as local anchors, connected by a network of rural routes such as Farmersville Rd and Co Rd 4. This area is characterized by numerous small family and community burial grounds, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this part of the Alabama Black Belt.

The distribution of sites like Snow Hill Cem, Old Snow Hill Cem, and McColough Cem suggests a long history of dispersed rural settlement. Local transport history is reflected in names like Old Barge Mill Rd, while the terrain is defined by the winding paths of Honey Creek and Hills Creek. This map captures the modern state of these crossroads communities, preserving the location of landmarks that have defined this agricultural region for generations.
