About this map

The settlement of West Greene serves as a central point in this rural Greene County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of small waterways. Streams like Banggoodle Br, Wilkes Cr, and Tubbs Cr drain the area toward Trussells Creek in the southeast. This pattern of small drainages and gentle elevations has historically influenced the placement of homes and farmsteads along the ridges, particularly following the path of AL Highway 14 and AL Highway 39.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of family and community burial sites scattered throughout the region. From the White Cem and Horton Cem in the north to the Demount Cem and Saint Johns Cem in the south, these markers point to established family landholdings and small rural congregations. The community of Clinton in the east and the crossroads of Mount Hebron further demonstrate the long-standing, dispersed settlement patterns of this part of Alabama.
