About this map

Conecuh National Forest dominates the southern landscape of this Covington County region, where the terrain is defined by an intricate network of creeks and small ponds. The Conecuh River cuts through the northwest corner, fed by tributaries like Copeland Creek and Shady Bend Creek. Small rural communities are centered around local landmarks such as Carolina, which features the Carolina Ch, and the settlement of Pleasant Home further west.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the documentation of family-named water bodies and community centers, including Kelley Pond, Harrelson Pond, and Nellie Ponds. In the southeastern portion of the forest, the Shady Hill Ch and its adjacent Shady Hill Cem provide specific points of interest for tracing local heritage. The map also captures several unnamed light-duty roads and trails that weave through the forest and around Dogwood Lake, illustrating the rural transportation patterns of the early 1970s.
