2024 Map of Gantt

About this map

Gantt Lake serves as the central focal point of this landscape, where the Conecuh River is impounded north of the town of Gantt. The surrounding terrain is defined by a high density of rural religious and funerary sites, reflecting a deeply rooted community structure in this part of Covington County. Small settlements like Straughn, Rawls, and Antioch are anchored by their respective houses of worship and burial grounds, such as Zion Hill Baptist Church Cem and Mount Zion United Methodist Church. The geography is further shaped by numerous watercourses including Wolf Creek, Rocky Creek, and Feagin Creek, which carve through the timbered hills. Of particular interest to local historians is the Valley of Shiloh and the northern stretch of the river near Searight, where the boundary between Covington and Crenshaw counties follows the winding water and ridge lines.
