About this map

Sandy Ridge serves as a central hub in this Southern Alabama landscape where the borders of Lowndes, Montgomery, and Crenshaw counties converge. The area is characterized by a network of rural roads and scattered family-named cemeteries, such as Magnolia Cem and Payne Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. Small settlements like Letohatchee and Davenport are situated along key transport corridors, including Us 31 and Al 97, reflecting the long-standing agricultural and residential patterns of the region.

Hydrological features are prominent throughout the quadrangle, with numerous named bodies of water including EB and SL Payne Lake and Gaston Lake. The terrain is marked by notable elevations such as Pierces Hill, while several creeks like Pinchony Cr and Beaver Dam Cr drain the low-lying areas. This modern survey provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure, capturing the enduring locations of historic communities and burial grounds that define the local heritage.
