About this map

Alicia and Minturn anchor this agricultural region along the corridor of U.S. Route 67, where the terrain is defined by a complex network of drainage ditches and sloughs. The landscape reflects a legacy of water management, with Big Running Water Creek and Village Creek flanked by smaller waterways such as Black Spice Ditch and Maple Ditch. These systems are essential to the vast farming plots that dominate the area, intersected by a dense grid of local thoroughfares like Lawrence Road 547 and Jackson Road 699.

For those researching family history, several small burial grounds are distributed across the countryside, including Covington Cemetery and Clark Cemetery. The northern reaches of the quadrangle include the settlements of Clover Bend and Hopewell, while the Bennett Landing Strip indicates the continued importance of aerial access for local agricultural operations. The geography is further characterized by natural features like White Oak Slough and Marrow Bone Slough, illustrating the lowland hydrology of Lawrence County.
