About this map

Rockville and the high ground of Roundtop Hill define the western reaches of this Clarke County landscape, where deep creek valleys cut through the Alabama coastal plain. This 2014 survey captures a rural territory dominated by family-named landmarks and long-established road networks, such as Walker Springs Rd and Byrd Jackson Rd. The topography is shaped by an intricate drainage system including Salt Cr and Reedy Cr, which flow toward the lower elevations near Choctaw Bluff in the southeast.

Local history and genealogy interests are reflected in the dense network of rural routes like Society Hill Rd and Ft Stimpson Rd, indicating the locations of past homesteads and community hubs. The map provides a detailed view of the terrain around Perine Hill and the winding course of Sand Hill Cr, offering researchers a clear picture of the land's physical character and its influence on settlement patterns in the Alma area.
