2014 Map of Wright

About this map

Gravelly Springs sits near the northern shoreline of Pickwick Lake, where the Tennessee River defines the southern boundary of this northwest Alabama landscape. The topography is dominated by an intricate system of ridges and hollows, including Rainbow Ridge and Texas Ridge, which separate numerous seasonal drainages like Troublesome Hollow Br and Brush Cr. This 2014 survey documents the enduring rural character of Lauderdale County, tracing the network of county roads that connect small settlements such as Wright and Murphy Cross Roads. Genealogy and local history researchers will find significant value in the mapped locations of family and community burial sites, including Milford Cem, Sharp Cem, and the Francis-King Lucas Cem near the northern border. To the southeast, the modern Natchez Trace Pky cuts through the terrain, following the historical travel corridor near Bluff Creek Hill.
