About this map

Alabama River bottomlands and the winding path of the Little River define this corner of Baldwin County. The landscape is marked by small, scattered settlements such as Chrysler, Eliska, and Mineola, reflecting a rural continuity into the early 21st century. Navigational points along the river, including Kellum Landing and Potts Bar, hint at a history of waterway access that once sustained these communities.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial grounds across the quadrangle, such as Shomo Cemetery, Weatherford Cemetery, and Ferrell Cemetery. The presence of the Little River Post Office near the junction of County Rd 8 indicates the persistent, though modest, civic center for this riparian region. Dense drainage networks, from Shomo Creek to Wallers Creek, illustrate the complex hydrology that dictated local road placement and settlement patterns.
