About this map

The settlement of Burnt Corn serves as a central landmark in this rural landscape of southern Alabama, where a network of county roads like County Hwy-30 and Sand Bottom Rd connects scattered communities and family farmsteads. This 2011 survey documents a quiet interior region defined by its reliance on the land, with several legacy settlements including Ramah, Harpers Store, and Green Street remaining as anchor points for local history.

Genealogists will find the distribution of family and community burial grounds particularly noteworthy, as the map records several sites including Puryearville Cemetery, Bethany Cemetery, and New Hope Cemetery. The terrain is drained by numerous winding waterways, most notably Brushy Creek, McKinney Branch, and Walkers Creek, which carve through the countryside and likely influenced the early road patterns and property lines that continue to shape the county today.
