2014 Map of Natchez

About this map

Natchez and the surrounding Monroe County settlements sit within a landscape defined by the winding drainages of Big Flat Cr and Beaver Cr. This area of southern Alabama reflects a traditional rural layout where small communities like Scotland and Keith are connected by a network of winding roads such as Old Scotland Rd and River Ridge Rd. The presence of numerous family and community burial grounds, including Old Scotland Cem, Red Hills Cem, and Davidson Cem, provides significant value for genealogical research, anchoring historical family names to specific ridges and hollows. Notable water features like Natchez State Lake and the descriptive Stallworths Black Pond suggest the local importance of water resources in this timber and agricultural region. Significant crossings like Davis Bridge and Robinson Bridge indicate established transit points over the many creeks that dissect River Ridge.
