About this map

Hokes Bluff sits at the northwestern corner of this landscape, where residential streets like Morris Ave and Keener DR meet the rural corridor of HWY 278 E. The terrain is defined by the ridgelines of Colvin Mtn and Dry Creek Mtn, which separate the northern valleys from the southern reaches. Numerous small settlements and rural crossroads are scattered throughout, including Fords Valley, New Liberty, and Webster Chapel, each connected by a network of winding roads such as Old Ford Valley RD and New Liberty RD.

Genealogists can find significant local markers at Youngs Chapel Cem, Landers Cem, and Ohatchee Number 2 Cem. The map captures the hydrological pattern of the area, centered on the winding path of Ohatchee Cr and Coffee Cr. Water features like Bennetts Lake, Thompson Lake, and Goodwin Lake suggest a landscape used for both recreation and local agriculture, while the gaps in the mountains, such as Colvin Gap and Rock Spring Gap, dictate the historic travel routes between communities.
