2024 Map of Bigbee

About this map

Bigbee and Carpenter anchor a landscape defined by the intricate headwaters of the Tauler Creek system in Washington County. The terrain is marked by a network of rural roads such as Chatom Bigbee Rd and Co Rd 34, which connect scattered homesteads and local landmarks. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several community burial grounds, including Spring Hill Cem near Carpenter and Three Forks Cem to the north. Further east, the Midway Methodist Church Cem serves as a prominent focal point near the township line. The map reveals a highly dissected topography where numerous seasonal watercourses like Santa Bogue Creek, Fly Branch, and Simmons Creek carve through the timberlands, illustrating the traditional settlement patterns and drainage-dependent land use of the Alabama interior.
