About this map

York serves as the primary municipal center in this section of Sumter County, where the street grid is dense with residential avenues like Kentucky Ave and Virginia Ave. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Alamuchee Cr and its various tributaries, which create a complex drainage network through the central lowlands. Notable elevations such as Alamuchee Hill and Scratch Hill provide a geographic contrast to the wetlands and small lakes, including Lake Louise and Lake Carolyn.

Genealogists will find a significant distribution of local burial sites, from the centrally located York Cem and Home Mission Cem to the outlying Rocks Chapel Cem and McElroy Cem. The map documents the rural road network connecting smaller communities like Siloam, Williams, and Cuba, following older routes such as Old US Hwy 11 and Old Livingston Rd. This 2018 survey provides a modern view of the enduring rural settlement patterns in western Alabama.
