About this map

Ridgeville and Macedonia anchor a rural landscape where the boundaries of Lowndes, Wilcox, and Butler counties converge. This 2014 survey captures a terrain deeply carved by a network of waterways, including Cedar Creek and Wolf Cr, which dictate the local road patterns. The area is characterized by high ridges such as County Line Hill, where elevations rise to separate the drainage of Ishams Cr and Indian Cr.

Genealogical interest is particularly high due to several family-named burial grounds scattered across the countryside, such as Snow Cem, Crenshaws Cem, and Thompson Cem. The transport network relies on historic routes like Jim McGowin Rd and Monterey Rd, which link the small settlements and homesteads. These details offer a clear view of the modern infrastructure overlaid on the traditional land divisions of the Deep South.
