About this map

Brooks and Cohassett center this rural landscape along the boundary of Conecuh and Covington counties. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Sepulga River and the significant drainage of Pigeon Creek, which converge in an area marked by numerous smaller tributaries like Mancil Mill Cr and Terry Mill Cr. A notable river feature, Bold Sluice Shoal, indicates the varying flow and navigational character of the Sepulga during this modern period.

Genealogists will find several family and community landmarks, including Brooks Cem, Long Branch Cem, and Mancil Cem. The road network, including historic routes such as Gorum Bridge Rd and Lloyd Mill Rd, suggests a legacy of local milling operations and timber transport that once dominated this pocket of southern Alabama. Smaller landmarks like Lee Pond and Pine Log Br further articulate the creek-laced geography of the region.
