About this map

Chatom serves as the focal point of this Washington County landscape, where the town grid meets a network of timberlands and creek bottoms. The geography is defined by an intricate drainage system including Creeping Swamp Cr and Bassetts Cr, which weave through the low-lying terrain. To the northwest, the settlement of Laton Hill stands near the headwaters of Red Bank Cr, illustrating the dispersed residential patterns typical of this part of Alabama.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial sites, such as Laton Hill Cem, Spring Bank Cem, and Fairhope Cem. The presence of George Keen Pond and Coaker Pond suggests the importance of local water resources in a region otherwise dominated by winding tributaries like W Pine Barren Cr and Miles Cr. The road network, including Ray Coaker Hwy, connects these rural hubs across the undulating coastal plain.
