About this map

The boundary between Marengo Co and Hale Co cuts across this landscape of the Alabama Black Belt, where the transition from open agricultural land to creek-carved bottomlands is clearly visible. The town of Uniontown and the village of Faunsdale serve as the primary hubs, connected by a network of historic thoroughfares including Old AL Hwy 80 and the Old Uniontown Rd. These routes follow the natural topography, linking established settlements to more remote communities like Siddonsville.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial sites, including Saint Michaels Cem, Rosemont Cem, and the Winfield Cem. The intricate drainage system defined by Cottonwood Creek and Freetown Creek shaped the early development of this region, which is further marked by local water bodies such as Lake Roseland and Lake Meadwood. The map preserves the specific street grids of the smaller towns, documenting thoroughfares like Water Ave and Cane Brake St that anchor these rural centers.
