About this map

Bay Minette Creek and the Styx River define the drainage of this Baldwin County landscape, where small communities and family landholdings are connected by an intricate network of local roads. The map captures the suburban and rural character of the region south of the county seat, featuring established residential areas like Douglasville and Holly Hills. Infrastructure such as the Bay Minette Municipal Airport and the Ben May Fire Tower reflect the local economy's balance between transportation and forestry management.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds across the quadrangle, including the Douglasville Cemetery, Johnson Cemetery, Stapleton Cemetery, and Dean Cemetery. Small rural junctions like Whitehouse Forks and Crossroads illustrate the historical settlement patterns that persist alongside newer developments. Hydrological features such as Honeycut Creek and the Stacey Lake Dam highlight the importance of water management in this coastal plain environment.
