2014 Map of Gantt

About this map

Gantt Lake dominates the central landscape of this southern Alabama region, where the Conecuh River is impounded to form a complex waterway characterized by fingers and points like Rawls Point. The settlement pattern reflects a mix of small incorporated areas and rural clusters, with the town of Gantt situated at the southwestern edge of the lake and Dozier to the north. The area is marked by numerous family and community landmarks, including the Valley of Shiloh and several historic burial sites such as Bozeman Cem and Shiloh Cem. A network of country roads, such as Oakey Streak Rd and Bell Hill Rd, connects the scattered communities of Straughn, Antioch, and Searight. The presence of the Gantt Millpond south of the main lake suggests a legacy of local water-powered industry that once shaped the economy of these Covington and Crenshaw County borderlands.
