About this map

The Mount Meigs Post Office anchors this section of Montgomery County, where the historic Atlanta Hwy serves as a primary east-west artery through the landscape. This 2012 survey reveals a complex network of private dams and reservoirs, such as Belser Lake and McClurkin Lake Number Two, indicating a sophisticated system of local water management and land use. The area is dotted with numerous burial grounds, including the Manning Springs/McDade Cemetery and Judkins Cemetery, which provide essential touchstones for genealogical research in this part of Alabama.

Agricultural and suburban patterns converge near the settlements of Pike Road and Matthews, each retaining their own postal facilities. Distinctive landmarks like Kershaw Airport and the Landing Strip near London emphasize the intersection of rural life with modern transportation needs. The hydrology is dominated by Mathews Slough and Miller Creek, which wind through the low-lying terrain south of Waugh.
