2020 Map of Wright

About this map

Pickwick Lake and its intricate northern shoreline dominate the southern reaches of this Alabama landscape, where the Tennessee River's waters meet a series of deep drainages. The terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows, such as Rainbow Ridge, Texas Ridge, and Landrum Hollow, which funnel numerous creeks toward the lake. Small communities like Gravelly Springs and Wright are situated near the water, while Murphy Cross Roads anchors the northern high ground. This area is heavily marked by family-named burial sites, including the Francis King-Lucas Cem and Murphys Chapel Cem, reflecting a long history of rural settlement. The Natchez Trace Parkway cuts across the southeast corner, following a corridor that has served travelers for centuries, while local routes like Lauderdale Co 8 connect the various ridges.
