2014 Map of Society Hill

About this map

Society Hill serves as the central hub of this East Alabama landscape, situated where the borders of Macon, Lee, and Russell Counties converge. This 2014 survey reveals a region deeply rooted in its local heritage, evidenced by the high density of family-named burial sites such as Herbert Brown Cem, Cobbs Cem, Whatley Cem, and Holt Cem. These landmarks, alongside Saint Paul Cem, offer critical data points for genealogists tracing ancestral lines through the rural South. The topography is defined by an intricate network of waterways including Opintlocco Cr, Uchee Cr, and Long Br, which snake between low ridges and feed numerous private impoundments like Kellys Pond Number One and Talbert Lake. The intersection of modern infrastructure with historic paths is visible at Whatley Cross Road and along the various county routes that crisscross the agricultural and wooded terrain.
