2011 Map of Pleasant Ridge

About this map

The Sipsey River meanders across this rural Greene County landscape, defining the character of a region marked by small settlements and family burial grounds. At the southern end, Pleasant Ridge serves as a focal point, featuring the Pleasant Ridge Church and Pleasant Ridge Cemetery. The network of county roads, including Co HWY-120 and Co HWY-119, connects dispersed historical sites like Lewiston and Wilder Quarters. Significant local infrastructure is noted by the Richardson Bridge and the Homer Carpenter Dam, which creates Carpenters Lake on Shambley Creek. Genealogy interest is high here, with numerous small cemeteries such as Bethany Cemetery, Eatman Cemetery, and Screptah Cemetery scattered throughout the river valley and its tributaries like Hughes Creek and Lubbub Creek. The map documents a traditional Southern agricultural and residential pattern where life is closely tied to the winding river and the long-established roads of the Alabama interior.
