About this map

The Choctawhatchee River winds through the southeastern corner of this Wiregrass region survey, defining a landscape shaped by creek systems and rural crossings. Settlement is concentrated around Bellwood, which sits at the junction of several county roads and the Rail Road Bed Ave. Further west, the smaller community of Scranton lies near Lake Jeanette and Lake Fox. The area's social history is anchored by numerous rural sites, including Sardis Ch and several burial grounds such as Consolation Cem and Shady Grove Cem.

The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features and localized elevations like Campbell Hill. Smaller tributaries including Bell Cr, Wilkerson Cr, and Mauldin Cr create a dense network of drainage across the Geneva, Coffee, and Dale county lines. This map documents a contemporary view of these established Alabama communities, maintaining their agricultural character and traditional land divisions.
