2018 Map of Bluff Springs

About this map

Bluff Springs sits at the heart of this landscape where the Pike and Coffee county line divides the northern reaches. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses including Bluff Creek, Cowpen Creek, and Stinking Creek, which drain the low ridges and create the many branches and pridgeons that carve the terrain. Small settlements like Jack and Wilkinstown are connected by a rural road system that follows the natural rises, avoiding the wetland areas around Jackson Pond. For local historians and genealogists, the map reveals the placement of several community centers and burial grounds, such as Zions Chapel Cemetery and Mount Hebron Cemetery, indicating the dispersed but established social fabric of this part of Alabama. Notable landmarks such as Lewis Mill Bridge and Thames Bridge suggest historical crossing points over the winding creeks that have shaped the local movement and economy.
