About this map

The county line between Coffee County and Jeff Davis County bisects this landscape of low-lying wetlands and creek drainages. Small rural congregations anchor the community, including Byrd Ch and Carver Ch to the north, while Marys Chapel, Providence Ch, and West Green Ch are situated further south. These religious centers, often paired with family burial grounds like Williams Cem and Cato Cem, suggest a pattern of dispersed agricultural settlement tied to localized church communities.

Water defines the terrain, with Rocky Creek and Rock Falls in the northwest giving way to a complex network of seasonal drainages including Moccasin Creek, Town Creek, and Seven Creek. The inclusion of the Landing Field near the eastern margin and the proximity to the Broxton corporate boundary illustrate the gradual intersection of rural life with 20th-century transportation and municipal growth.
