About this map

Gantt Lake serves as the central geographic feature of this southern Alabama landscape, formed by the damming of the Conecuh River. The surrounding terrain is defined by a network of rural settlements and family-named points including Rawls, Searight, and Dozier. Local genealogy is well-preserved through several small burial grounds such as Able Cem, Gantt Cem, and Shiloh Cem, which anchor the communities of Straughn and Antioch.

The presence of numerous creek systems like Feagin Cr, Wolf Cr, and Bear Cr feeding into the main reservoir highlights a landscape shaped by water and local industry. To the west, the community of Gantt sits near the river banks, while names like Dunns Bridge and Rawls Point indicate the historical importance of specific crossings and landings. This 2018 survey reveals a modern rural structure that maintains its connection to early twentieth-century settlement patterns and land use.
