About this map

Faunsdale and the western edge of Uniontown anchor this Black Belt landscape, where the borders of Marengo, Perry, and Hale counties converge. The geography is defined by a dense concentration of historical burial sites and small rural communities like Siddonsville, connected by a network of older thoroughfares including Old US Hwy 80 and Old AL Hwy 80. These roads trace the path of earlier transit corridors through the agricultural heartland.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here due to the many family and community cemeteries, such as Saint Michaels Cem, Cedar Grove Cem, and Blanks Cem. Water features such as Lake Roseland and Cottrell Lake punctuate the terrain, while numerous creeks like Greer Cr and Cottonwood Cr drain the low-lying areas. The presence of numerous township lines and sectional boundaries highlights the importance of precise land divisions in this longstanding farming region.
