2018 Map of Carolina

About this map

The small community of Carolina anchors the northeastern portion of this survey, surrounded by family-named landmarks and rural farm roads. The landscape is defined by the heavy timber of the Conecuh National Forest, where the Conecuh Trail winds through a complex system of hydrology including Panther Cr, Teel Cr, and the Conecuh River. This geography reflects a modern era of forest management and outdoor recreation, while retaining traces of local genealogy at the Carolina Cem and on agricultural holdings like Mauldin Farm Ln and Wiggins Farm Rd. Numerous distinct water bodies, from Dogwood Lake to Indigo Ponds, emphasize the low-lying, poorly drained nature of this Covington County terrain. The transition from the high point at Red Wash Hill down to the river bottoms illustrates the natural topography that has shaped settlement patterns here for generations.
