About this map

Wedowee and the surrounding Randolph County countryside are defined by the winding course of the Little Tallapoosa River and numerous creek systems. This modern survey reflects the enduring character of East Alabama, where small settlements like Woodland, Haywood, and Tennant are connected by a network of county roads. The landscape is punctuated by several significant rural burial grounds and places of worship, including the Midway United Methodist Church Cem and Liberty Grove Church Cem.

Water plays a central role in the local geography, evidenced by features such as McBurnett Ford and Wedowee Club Lake. These water bodies and crossings, along with tributaries like Wedowee Creek and Cornhouse Creek, have historically shaped the settlement patterns and agricultural development of the region. The detailed mapping of family-named sites, such as the Traylor Family Cem, provides valuable points of interest for those studying the genealogical history of the area.
