About this map

Cottonwood serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in southeastern Alabama, where the grid of rural life is defined by family-named roads and winding watercourses. The town sits at a strategic junction near Sealy Springs, with a network of transit lines including Cottonwood Rd and CR-55 connecting disparate rural communities. The terrain is marked by numerous drainage systems, most notably Boggy Cr and the expansive Gum Slough to the east, which dictate the placement of farms and timber tracts.

Smaller settlements and identified crossroads such as Terry Crossroads, Love Hill, and Keytons reflect the area's history of localized commerce. Researchers can trace the legacy of early residents through thoroughfares like J E Williams Rd and Halstead Store Rd. The western edge is defined by the flow of Double Bridges Cr, while the southern reaches near Hodgesville are shaped by the broad path of Big Cr.
