2018 Map of Beatrice

About this map

Beatrice and Tunnel Springs anchor this rural section of south Alabama, where the landscape is defined by the winding drainages of Robinson Creek and Brushy Creek. The settlement pattern follows a network of established routes like Pineville Road and County Road 42, connecting small communities such as Pineville, Riley, and Turnbull. Genealogists will find a high concentration of local burial grounds, including the Philadelphia, Savannah, and Antioch cemeteries, which often mark the sites of historic congregational centers. Along the southern border, the Monroe and Conecuh county line cuts through timberland near Pine Orchard. The presence of features like Steels Lake and Flat Creek among the ridges illustrates the importance of water sources in the development of these upland Alabama homesteads.
