About this map

Roanoke serves as the primary hub for this corner of Randolph County, Alabama, where the landscape transitions into the rolling terrain near the Georgia state line. The map reveals a dense network of crossroads communities that define the local geography, including Taylors Crossroads, White Crossroads, and Lee Crossroads. These small settlements, often anchored by historic family names, illustrate a traditional rural development pattern where local trade and social life centered on these specific intersections.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with Wehadkee Creek and High Pine Creek carving through the hills. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local resting places such as the Old Salem Primitive Baptist Church Cem and Springfield Cem. From the heights of Overton Mountain to the industry-adjacent Roanoke Municipal Airport, the map provides a contemporary view of a region defined by its small towns and winding creek branches.
