2011 Map of Comer

About this map

The small community of Comer sits at the intersection of local plantation roads and larger county arteries in this rural pocket of Barbour County. The landscape is heavily defined by its water management, featuring numerous named impoundments including McCains Lake, McCalls Pond, and Grants Duck Pond. These bodies of water, many held by structures like the Grants Duck Pond Dam and Mc Calls Lake Dam, feed into a network of waterways led by the South Fork Cowikee Creek and Bear Creek. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of the Ramah Cemetery in the northeast and Seay Cemetery further south. The road network, including Pako Plantation Rd and Grant Brothers Rd, suggests a landscape historically dominated by large landholdings and timber or agricultural interests typical of southeastern Alabama.
