About this map

Johnstown Cemetery and the many family-named burial grounds across this Alabama landscape reveal a deeply rooted rural community in the early twenty-first century. The area is defined by the winding course of Schultz Creek and Hill Creek, where traditional crossings like Shallow Ford and Smiths Ford suggest historical transport patterns that predate the modern road network. Small settlements such as Vernontown, Scottsville, and Richtown are dispersed throughout the terrain, often identified by their proximity to these watercourses or local landmarks like Primitive Ridge.
