2020 Map of Chatom

About this map

Chatom serves as the focal point of this Washington County landscape, anchored by the Washington County Courthouse and a grid of streets including Central Ave and School St. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of hydrologic features, with Beaver Dam Cr and Bassetts Cr winding through the countryside. This modern survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, where land use is dictated by the drainage of Creeping Swamp Cr and W Pine Barren Cr. For genealogists, the map identifies several local burial sites, such as Laton Hill Cem and Spring Bank Cem, which provide geographic context for family history research. The presence of George Keen Pond and Coaker Pond further characterizes the water-rich topography of this Southwest Alabama quadrangle.
