About this map

Pigeon Creek and the winding Sepulga River dominate this pocket of south-central Alabama, where the landscape is defined by the convergence of several major tributaries. The settlement of Cohassett serves as a local hub near the Long Branch Cemetery, while to the north, the community of Brooks is centered around Brooks Cemetery and the notable Brooks Lookout Tower.

Transport and water management are evident through the numerous county highways crossing the terrain and the presence of the Fergerson Lake Dam. This 2011 survey records a rural landscape where family names are etched into the geography, seen in features like Lee Pond, Mancil Mill Creek, and the Mancil Cemetery. The inclusion of Bold Sluice Shoal on the Pigeon Creek indicates specific river navigation points or fishing spots that have likely remained significant to the local community for generations.
