1981 Map of Ridgeville

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The tri-county intersection of Wilcox, Lowndes, and Butler counties defines this rural Alabama landscape. Settlement is concentrated along the ridges, notably at Ridgeville and Macedonia, where the upland terrain provides relief from the dense drainage networks of Cedar Creek and Wolf Creek. The map documents a deeply traditional community structure centered on small rural institutions such as Oak Valley Ch and Mt Olive Ch, along with family and community burial grounds like Snow Cem and Crenshaw Cem. While much of the area is dominated by forested creek bottoms and hills like County Line Hill, the presence of a Gravel Pit indicates local small-scale resource extraction. This survey preserves the exact locations of these local landmarks and the winding rural road network as it existed in the early 1980s.
