About this map

The settlement of Hacoda and the rural crossroads of Howells anchor this landscape along the border of Covington Co and Geneva Co. This region of southern Alabama is defined by its numerous small water bodies and wetlands, including the expansive Big Swamp and several named catchments like Pigeon Pond, Norris Pond, and Holley Pond. The drainage pattern is intricate, with Panther Cr, Flat Creek, and Eightmile Cr carving through the low-lying terrain near Buffalo Hill.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-documented burial sites across the township lines, such as Chapel Hill Cem, Old Sardis Cem, and the dual Corner Creek Upper Cem and Corner Creek Lower Cem. The southern edge of the survey reveals industrial and agricultural history at Finks Millpond, while a dense network of local roads like Hurricane Ridge Rd and Tung Oil Rd suggests the historical importance of local timber and naval stores industries in this part of the wiregrass region.
