About this map

Gaston and Derby anchor this West Alabama landscape, situated along the county line where Sumter Co and Choctaw Co meet. The region is defined by a dense network of watercourses, with Kinterbish Creek and Cotohaga Cr winding through the central and eastern portions. This modern survey reflects the enduring rural character of the area, where local infrastructure is deeply tied to family-named landmarks and long-established roads.

Genealogists can trace property and community histories through sites like Campbell Cem near the northern border and Ward Chapel Cem to the southeast. The map highlights numerous small tributaries such as Brockway Cr, Polecat Cr, and Neals Cr, which feed into larger systems. Remote roads like Bumkum Rd and Hickory Hill Rd connect these scattered settlements, providing a clear view of the contemporary residential and agricultural footprint of the Sumter and Choctaw borderlands.
