About this map

The Choctawhatchee River winds through the southeastern corner of this landscape, anchoring a region defined by its rural settlements and the convergence of Coffee, Dale, and Geneva counties. The town of Bellwood serves as a local focal point near the river, while the smaller community of Scranton sits further west near the shores of Lake Jeanette and Lake Fox. These water bodies, along with numerous family-named creeks such as Brackin Mill Cr and Campbell Mill Cr, suggest a history of small-scale industry and agricultural irrigation.

Local genealogy and history are preserved through several scattered burial sites, including Bellwood Cem, Shady Grove Cem, and Consolation Cem. The terrain is characterized by a network of state and county roads, such as Al-167 and Al-85, which weave between small ponds like Jimmy Henderson Pond and Ed Averette Pond Number One, illustrating the lived-in, managed nature of this Wiregrass-region countryside.
