2011 Map of Gin Creek

About this map

Binion Creek and Gin Creek carve through this rural corner of Alabama, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of family cemeteries and small waterways. These burial grounds, including Wommack Cemetery, Rogers Cemetery, and Hendrix Cemetery, serve as markers for generations of local families throughout the backcountry. The map reveals a transition from these early homestead landmarks to more modern recreational and industrial footprints, such as Pine Lake and its associated Pine Lake Dam. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the convergence of Mud Creek and Tilly Branch near the Montgomery Lakes indicates a shift toward flatter, water-rich bottomlands. This 2011 survey captures the area’s enduring character, where narrow roads like Old Fayette Rd and Murk Montgomery Rd still follow the contours of the drainage basins.
