2014 Map of Uriah West

About this map

Uriah sits on the eastern edge of this coastal plain landscape in Monroe County, serving as a hub for a network of rural roads and timbered creek bottoms. The terrain is defined by a dense drainage system where Wallers Cr and Butterfork Cr carve through the elevation, eventually feeding into larger basins. Local history is anchored by several dispersed burial grounds, including Morning Star Cem in the northwest and Semirah Springs Cem to the south, which mark the locations of early community congregations and family settlements. Small crossroads like Jeddo and Palmers Crossroads represent the enduring settlement patterns of this region, where life followed the ridges between waterways like Beaverdam Cr. The topography includes distinctive landmarks such as Jenny Bell Hill, providing a detailed look at the rural geography of southwest Alabama during the early twenty-first century.
