About this map

The Sepulga River meanders through the southeastern corner of this landscape, anchoring a network of waterways that includes Amos Mill Creek and Polly Creek. Small rural settlements like Brooklyn, Johnsonville, and Spring Hill are connected by a web of local routes such as Brooklyn Rd and County Hwy-42. These roads trace the low ridges and creek bottoms, reflecting a long-standing pattern of southern Alabama agricultural and timber settlement.

Genealogists can find localized detail at the Johnston Cemetery and Horton Cemetery, while the northern terrain is marked by Coon Ridge and its Fire Tower. The dense concentration of named branches, including Bearthick Branch and Horton Branch, illustrates the complex drainage system feeding the river basin. The map preserves the specific road names and property markers of the early twenty-first century, before further changes in land management or rural consolidation.
