About this map

York serves as the primary hub in this early 21st-century portrait of western Sumter County, where the York Post Office and Mallard Airport anchor the local infrastructure. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Alamuchee Creek and Toomsuba Creek, which flow through a region characterized by small-scale impoundments like Lake Louise and Lake Carolyn. Significant for genealogical research, the map identifies numerous burial grounds scattered across the countryside, including York Cemetery, Rocks Chapel Cemetery, and the more remote Woods Cemetery near Scratch Hill.

Smaller rural settlements and localities such as Siloam, Standard, and Williams appear along the road network, which is dominated by the intersection of Old Hwy 80 and Old US Hwy 11. The presence of the Rumley Lookout Tower on the eastern edge and various named branches like Bogan Branch and Phelps Branch provide clear landmarks for tracing historic property boundaries and local water rights in this part of Alabama.
