2018 Map of Seale

About this map

Seale serves as the focal point for this section of Russell County, where the landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of Uchee Creek and its many tributaries. The area maintains a rural, dispersed settlement character, with small communities like Sandfort, Colbert, and Villula connected by a network of county roads. Genealogical interest is particularly high on this sheet given the density of family-named burial sites, such as Williams Dudley Cem and the Bass Cem. The topography is characterized by many small bodies of water, including Dudleys Lake and Monte Pond, which suggest a terrain of varied elevations and wetlands common to the Alabama coastal plain. This 2018 record shows how modern infrastructure, such as Co Rd 137 and Co Rd 69, has integrated with traditional land divisions and early homestead locations.
