About this map

Wedowee serves as the central hub of this eastern Alabama landscape, where the street grid of the county seat meets the winding tributaries of the Wedowee Creek system. The geography is defined by a series of small water bodies and reservoirs, including the expansive R L Harris Reservoir in the northwest and Woodland Lake to the northeast. These waters are fed by numerous local branches such as Frog Level Br and Henson Br, which carve through the terrain between established crossroads.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the Traylor Family Cem and Liberty Grove Cem to rural communities like Woodland, Haywood, and the curiously named White Signboard Crossroad. The transition from town to country is marked by named landmarks like Hicks Bend and the Wedowee Club Lake, illustrating a mix of residential development and traditional southern timber and creek lands.
