About this map

North Fork Cowikee Creek, Middle Fork Cowikee Creek, and South Fork Cowikee Creek converge in this corner of Barbour County, creating a landscape defined by its branching waterways. The small settlement of Howe sits near the confluence, serving as a local anchor alongside Hawkinsville to the west. For those researching local families, the map is punctuated by numerous burial grounds, including the Tennell Chapel Cemetery, Jones Cemetery, and the Ivey Cemetery.

The road network, including David Jones Rd and Barbour Creek Rd, links these rural communities and family landmarks. Higher ground is found at Mount Gilead, while the northern portion of the quadrangle is drained by Mink Creek and Corbett Creek. This survey captures the region's character as a quiet interior crossroads of eastern Alabama, where geography is still largely dictated by the winding paths of the Cowikee Creek tributaries.
