2024 Map of Greenwood Springs

About this map

The Buttahatchee River meanders through the southeastern corner of this Monroe County landscape, defining the low-lying drainage patterns for a network of local tributaries. Small rural hubs such as Greenwood Springs, Splunge, and Quincy serve as the primary anchors for a region characterized by family-named cemeteries and narrow winding roads. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the distribution of family burial grounds, including McKinney Cem, Boggan Cem, and Lann Cem, which are often located near the headwaters of creeks like Splunge Creek and Weaver Creek. The terrain is etched by numerous branches such as Minga Branch and McKinney Branch, illustrating how the early settlement pattern at Wise Gap and surrounding ridges was dictated by the complex watercourses flowing toward the river valley.
