About this map

Choctaw Bluff and the small settlement of Rockville anchor this Clarke County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of creek drainages feeding toward the Alabama River system. The high ground of Roundtop Hill overlooks a complex topography of ridges and hollows, mapped here in 2020. The rural character of the area is evident in the layout of local routes like Society Hill Rd and Reedy Creek Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land between Alma and the southern bluffs.

Water plays a central role in the geography of the quadrangle, with numerous named streams including Salt Cr, Reedy Cr, and Little Reedy Cr carving through the timbered landscape. The presence of Sand Hill Cr and Limestone Cr suggests a diverse geological makeup, while family-named landmarks like Pritchett Pl and Fred T Stimpson Rd provide valuable points of reference for those tracing local history or family genealogy in this part of southwestern Alabama.
