2011 Map of Fruitdale

About this map

Fruitdale anchors the northern portion of this Washington County landscape, where the Fruitdale Post Office and Fruitdale Cemetery mark the heart of the settlement. The area's geography is defined by the winding course of the Escatawpa River and its numerous tributaries, including Brushy Creek and Turkey Creek. Further south, the communities of Epworth and Escatawpa are situated near several family and community burial grounds, such as Macedonia Cemetery and Grimes Cemetery. This 2011 survey reflects a rural infrastructure built around a network of county roads like Co Hwy-1 and Co Hwy-20, which bridge the many creek systems feeding into the river. The map provides a detailed view of the local drainage patterns and established homestead locations within the pine-forested terrain of southwestern Alabama.
