2018 Map of Damascus

About this map

The confluence of the Sepulga River and the Conecuh River defines this landscape in southern Alabama, where river-bottom lowlands meet the rising pine woods of the Conecuh National Forest. The settlement of Damascus serves as a local hub, surrounded by family-named landmarks such as Hoomesville Church Cem and Damascus Cem. Further south, the community of Boykin sits near the riverbanks, illustrating the historical importance of these waterways for transport and trade. The map documents numerous creek systems, including Meeting-House Cr and Grab Mill Cr, which suggest early local industry and congregation points. Transportation heritage is evident at McGowin Bridge, located near the McGowin Ferry Cem, marking a point where travelers once crossed the winding Conecuh River.
