2020 Map of Catherine

About this map

Prairie Bluff stands at the southeastern edge of this landscape, overlooking a sharp bend in the Alabama River where the William 'Bill' Dannelly Reservoir now gathers. This 2020 map documents a region characterized by dispersed settlements like Catherine, Alberta, and Rehoboth, connected by a network of rural routes such as Chitlin Switch Rd and Boiling Springs Rd. The terrain is defined by its deep genealogical footprint, evidenced by over a dozen burial sites including the Henry Young Family Cem, Boiling Spring Cem, and the Shell Creek Cem. Numerous waterways, including Chilatchee Creek and Shell Creek, carve through the rolling elevations of Wilcox County, reaching toward the river bottomlands. The map provides a contemporary view of these established communities and their longstanding landmarks near the Dallas and Wilcox county line.
