About this map

The confluence of the Sepulga River and the Conecuh River defines this region of southern Alabama, where wooded creek bottoms and rural settlements mark the landscape. The community of Damascus serves as a local hub, connected by a network of roads such as Damascus Rd and Hodge Creek Rd. Evidence of long-standing family ties and community centers are found at the Hoomesville Church and its accompanying Hoomesville Cemetery, alongside other burial sites like McGowin Cemetery and Damascus Cemetery.

Water plays a central role in the geography here, with numerous named tributaries including Meeting House Creek, Boykin Creek, and Grab Mill Creek feeding the larger river systems. Near the settlement of Boykin, the presence of Cooks Dam and a nearby Fishpond suggests localized water management and land use. The map preserves a network of family-named thoroughfares such as Judge Alford Rd and William Cook Rd, reflecting the heritage of the rural families who established these reaches of Escambia County.
