About this map

Morgan Springs and Folsom serve as central points in this rural landscape along the boundary of Hale and Perry counties. The area is defined by its numerous small congregational centers and family burial grounds, reflecting a deeply rooted community structure in the late 1970s. Key landmarks such as the Morgan Springs Lookout Tower and a prominent Water Tank punctuate the ridges, while agricultural and extractive activities are noted through several Gravel Pits scattered near the local roads.

Waterways like Bogue Chitto Creek, Brush Creek, and Big Prairie Creek carve through the terrain, influencing the placement of historical sites like Oak Grove Ch and West High Sch. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of numerous cemeteries, including Griffin Cem, Turner Cem, and Fairview Cem, which anchor the history of local families to specific corners of the Alabama countryside.
