About this map

Beechwood and the surrounding rural terrain of Lowndes County appear here in a state of quiet transition during the early 1980s. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Dry Cedar Creek and the dense network of drainage including Lum Creek and Beaver Creek. Human settlement is sparsely distributed, marked by small landmarks like Tolbert Chapel and the Antioch Ch north of the creek.

A notable inclusion for local historians is the Lee Cem, providing a precise location for genealogical research. The presence of a Landing Strip near the northern edge of the quadrangle suggests the importance of private aviation or agricultural transport in this part of the Alabama interior. Much of the area remains dominated by woodlots and small watercourses like Haynes Cr and Taylor Branch, reflecting the enduring agricultural and timber-driven character of the region.
