About this map

Greenwood Springs serves as a focal point in this Monroe County landscape during the mid-1960s, situated near the confluence where several creek branches meet the Buttahatchee River. The area is defined by its small, dispersed settlements like Splunge and Quincy, which are supported by a network of local institutions including Splunge Sch and numerous country churches such as Riggan Chapel and Trinity Ch.

Transport and industry are visible through the path of the St Louis San Francisco railroad and several Gravel Pit operations. The terrain is deeply dissected by a dense drainage system, including Sipsey Creek and McKinney Branch, while family history is preserved in small burial grounds like McKinney Cem and Baker Cem. A small Landing Strip and a recorded Drill Hole point to contemporary land use beyond traditional agriculture and timber.
