1968 Map of Uniontown West

About this map

Faunsdale and Uniontown anchor this section of the Alabama Black Belt, situated along the Southern railroad line during the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by its rural community structures, featuring a high concentration of country churches and family or community burial grounds such as St Michaels Cem and Cedar Grove Cem. Educational facilities like Faunsdale Jr High Sch and Hatch High Sch serve these concentrated settlements, while the surrounding acreage is marked by water features including Lake Roseland, Lake Meadwood, and the meandering Greer Creek. The presence of multiple flowing wells and a small Airfield near Uniontown suggests a landscape transitioning between traditional agriculture and modern infrastructure, all while maintaining the historic settlement patterns centered on small rail-side hubs and the rural hamlet of Siddonsville.
