About this map

The Escatawpa River defines the landscape of the Alabama-Mississippi borderlands, winding through the eastern portion of this 2014 survey. This region, where Mobile and George counties meet, is characterized by a network of rural settlements and family-named roads that reflect deep roots in the timber and farming traditions of the Deep South. The community of Earlville sits near the northern boundary, while Shipman anchors the southern end along Us-98.

Family history is particularly well-preserved here through several country burial grounds, including Macedonia Cem, Cowart Cem, and Moffet Cem. The topography is shaped by numerous tributaries such as Brushy Cr and Powell Cr, which cut through the low hills. Notable local landmarks such as Dream Fields Airport and several rural churches, including Oak Grove Church, serve as focal points for this cross-border community.
