2014 Map of Calvert

About this map

Calvert and the border of Washington and Mobile Counties define this rural landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map reveals a distribution of longstanding rural communities such as Sims Chapel, Fairford, and Malcolm, often anchored by family-named landmarks and cemeteries. Notable genealogy points include the John Johnston Hill Springs Cemetery and Rivers Cemetery, reflecting the deep familial roots in the Piney Woods region. The drainage patterns of Poll Bayou and Bates Creek cross the terrain, influenced by topographic features like Coon Hill Ridge and Hurricane Ridge. Modern infrastructure is represented by ThyssenKrupp Drive, while older connections like the Bowing Bridge across Poll Bayou maintain the area's historical continuity.
