About this map

Conecuh River meanders across this South Alabama landscape, defining the transition between the rolling hills and the expansive timberlands of the Conecuh National Forest. The map centers on the rural communities of Dixie and Rome, areas where the geography is heavily influenced by a network of waterways including Mobley Cr, Douglas Mill Cr, and Bear Head Cr. These drainage patterns historically supported local milling and agricultural operations, reflected in road names like Douglas Mill Rd.

For genealogists and local historians, several small burial grounds are documented, such as Feagin Cem, Smith Cem, and Mason Cem, situated along family-named routes like Feagin Rd and Walters Rd. The presence of Rome Pond near the settlement of Rome and the convergence of several county boundaries—including the meeting of Escambia, Conecuh, and Covington counties—illustrate the complex jurisdictional lines and natural landmarks that have long shaped this border region.
