About this map

Deer Park serves as the focal point for this 2020 study of the borderlands between Washington and Mobile counties. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Escatawpa River and its numerous tributaries, including Pond Creek and Bennett Cr. This modern survey documents the persistent rural infrastructure of southwestern Alabama, tracing a network of family-named roads such as Earl Wood Rd and Eddie Turner Rd that connect isolated settlements and historic burial grounds.

Genealogists will find several key landmarks preserved on the sheet, from the Deer Park Cem near the town center to the County Line Cem further south near Dwight. The terrain varies from low-lying wetlands like the Gum Springs Br to prominent local elevations such as Big Sand Hill and Dwight Hill, illustrating how the physical geography shaped the distribution of local homesteads and ponds, including Wade H Odom Pond.
