2018 Map of Ward

About this map

The border of Sumter Co and Choctaw Co divides this rural West Alabama landscape, where small hamlets and family burial grounds are dispersed among a complex network of creeks. The settlement of Ward anchors the northern portion of the map, situated near Cokes Chapel Cem, while the community of Halsell sits further south along Jack Br. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Kinterbish Cr and its many tributaries, including Little Kinterbish Cr and Thornton Cr, which have shaped the local topography near Thornton Hill. Genealogists will find several notable local landmarks, including Beulah Cem, Pine Grove Cem, Shearon Cem, and Fairfield Cem. The road network, featuring routes like Woodward St and Charles Spur Rd, reflects the area's agricultural and timber-focused land use patterns typical of the Black Belt region.
