About this map

Pleasant Ridge serves as a primary focal point in this portion of Greene County, where the rural landscape is defined by the winding course of the Sipsey River and its numerous tributaries like Hughes Cr and Lubbub Creek. The settlement pattern is deeply rooted in local history and genealogy, evidenced by a high density of small family and community burial grounds including Miller Place Cem, Screptah Cem, and Shedd Hill Cem.

Transport through the area relies on a network of traditional country roads such as Lewiston Rd and Emory Chapel Rd, connecting smaller nodes like Lewiston and Morrows Grove. Significant local landmarks like Richardson Bridge and the Pleasant Ridge Church Cem highlight the enduring importance of communal gathering places in this Alabama river-and-creek landscape. The boundary between Pickens Co and Greene Co bisects the northern reaches, emphasizing the map's role in documenting administrative and property lines across the diverse topography of Township 24 North.
