2020 Map of Parkers Crossroads

About this map

The southeastern outskirts of Opelika anchor a landscape defined by traditional rural settlements and an extensive network of small lakes and creeks. Toward the center of this terrain, Parkers Crossroads and Spring Villa mark long-standing community nodes, while the eastern edge is characterized by the water-powered industrial legacy of Griffen Mill and Meadows Mill along Little Uchee Creek. The map provides significant detail for family historians, documenting numerous burial sites such as the Penn Young Gravesite, Morris Chapel Cem, and Providence Cem. Water features are a dominant theme, ranging from the recreational waters of Lees Lake and Lee County Public Lake to the various numbered basins of Samford Lake and Pope Lake. These reservoirs, combined with the meandering courses of Chewacla Creek and Wandila Creek, illustrate the complex drainage patterns of this corner of Lee County.
