About this map

Macedonia and Ridgeville anchor this 2020 landscape where the borders of Lowndes, Wilcox, and Butler counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and watercourses, including the central Cedar Creek and its many tributaries like Wolf Cr and Ishums Cr. This modern survey details the persistent rural settlement patterns of the Alabama Black Belt, showing how contemporary routes like Co Rd 12 and Co Hwy 19 follow the ancient topography of the land.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through several scattered family and community burial grounds. Researchers can find Snow Cem, Thompson Cem, Bragg Cem, and Crenshaws Cem situated among the hills. To the north, County Line Hill rises as a prominent landmark near the Lowndes and Butler county line, while the small settlement of Palmyra sits near the northeastern corner of the quadrangle along the winding course of Indian Cr.
