2014 Map of Pleasant Ridge

About this map

The Sipsey River snakes through the borderlands between Pickens County and Greene County, defining a landscape of meandering waterways and scattered rural communities. In this modern survey of the region, the settlement of Pleasant Ridge serves as a local anchor near Pleasant Ridge Church and Wilkes Creek, while the village of Lewiston sits to the east. The map records a high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Miller Place Cem and Screptah Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this part of Alabama. The crossing at Richardson Bridge and the path of Al-14 highlight the transportation network that connects these small clusters. Further north, the terrain is shaped by the drainage of Hughes Creek and Cow Creek, leading toward Sterling Lake.
