2014 Map of Baker Hill

About this map

Bakerhill and the surrounding Barbour County countryside are defined by a complex network of creeks and ridges, most notably the Baker Hill Cuesta rising in the southeast. This 2014 survey captures the rural landscape where the E Fork Choctawhatchee River and Cheneyhatchee Creek drain the terrain. Small, dispersed settlements like Gaino, Cotton Hill, and Oateston are connected by a web of county roads and Al-131. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies several significant burial grounds, including Sardis Cem, New Hope Cem, Scotch Cem, and Walker Cem. The topography is shaped by water, from larger bodies like Williams Millpond and Bentons Pond to smaller tributaries such as Chipola Cr and White Oak Cr, illustrating the drainage patterns that have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and agricultural fields in this part of Alabama.
