2018 Map of Clopton

About this map

The W Fork Choctawhatchee River defines the lower drainage of this landscape, where the intersections of Barbour, Dale, and Henry Counties meet. A network of rural hubs, including Barefield Crossroads, Bells Crossroads, and Snells Crossroads, centers the local geography around historic burial grounds and stream crossings. Genealogists will find several significant sites, such as New Hope Cem, Mount Carmel Cem, and Clopton Cem, which anchor the small communities of Bertha and Clopton. The presence of Monks Mill Bridge and Stuckey Mill Br suggests the importance of water-driven industry in the region's development. Numerous creeks, including Walnut Cr and Panther Cr, carve through the terrain, leading toward the Ward Bridge in the southwest corner of the quadrangle.
