About this map

Rockville and Choctaw Bluff anchor this portion of Clarke County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of southern Alabama waterways. The terrain is dominated by the drainage basins of Reedy Creek and Sand Hill Creek, which flow through a topography marked by subtle rises like Roundtop Hill. This 2011 survey illustrates a rural infrastructure centered on family-named routes and timber-access roads such as Bryan Johnson Rd and Old Saint Mathew Rd.

The settlement at Alma sits in the northeast, connected to the surrounding countryside by a web of local roads including Gainestown Rd and Society Hill Rd. The map detail shows the spatial relationship between these small communities and the numerous tributaries, such as Salt Creek and Drummer Creek, that feed the larger river systems just beyond the quadrangle's borders. It is a snapshot of a working landscape where geography and local industry meet.
