2018 Map of Banks

About this map

Richland Creek and its many tributaries, including Buckhorn Creek and Beaver Branch, carve a complex drainage pattern across this section of Pike County. The landscape is dotted with small rural communities and crossroad settlements such as Banks, Buckhorn, and Pronto, each serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural lands. For those researching local families, the map is remarkably detailed in its documentation of burial sites, identifying numerous small cemeteries like Antioch Cemetery, Hussey Cemetery, and Cotton Cemetery. The inclusion of Brooks Graves suggests a more intimate, perhaps private family site, while the Old Dothan Cemetery points toward older congregational roots in the area. This network of rural roads and water features, such as Richardsons Pond and Wilsons Pond, illustrates the persistent rural character of the Alabama coastal plain in the early 21st century.
