About this map

The Conecuh River and its numerous tributaries, including Warrick Cr and Smilies Mill Cr, define the rural landscape of Pike County south of Troy. Small settlements and family clusters are distributed along county roads, with Goshen and Henderson serving as local hubs. This topography is particularly significant for genealogists, as it preserves the locations of numerous family and community burial grounds such as Old Salem Cem, William Carter Cem, and the Elam-Davidson Memorial Cem.

Transitioning from the upland plains near Sanders Hill to the river bottoms, the map reveals a network of water-dependent features like Folmars Pond and Loflins Pond. While the northern edge of the sheet touches the outskirts of the county seat, the interior maintains its agricultural character. The presence of the Smart Road Airport near Little Oak provides a modern contrast to the established rural pattern of churches and cemeteries that have anchored these Alabama communities for generations.
