2011 Map of Catherine

About this map

Prairie Bluff stands as a prominent historical landmark on the banks of the William "Bill" Dannelly Reservoir, anchoring this rural Wilcox County landscape. The settlement pattern is defined by a series of small, dispersed communities including Gastonburg, Catherine, and Alberta, each connected by a network of local routes like Chitlin Switch Rd and Walnut St. This area is particularly rich in family and community history, evidenced by more than a dozen documented burial sites such as the Rehoboth Cemetery, Welcome Cemetery, and the Boiling Spring Cemetery. The topography is etched by numerous watercourses, with Shell Creek and Mill Creek winding toward the river, while infrastructure like the Alberta Post Office and the Joe Harrison Dam reflect the local civic and industrial footprint of the early 21st century.
