2018 Map of Howe

About this map

North Fork Cowikee Creek and its tributaries carve a complex drainage pattern across the Barbour and Russell County border. The rural landscape is anchored by the small settlements of Glenville, Hawkinsville, and Howe, where local history is preserved in several family and community burial grounds including Mount Gilead Cem, Jones Cem, and Tenneel Chapel Cem. In the southeastern corner, the waters of the Walter F George Reservoir reach into the creek mouths, marking the influence of the Chattahoochee River system on the local topography. This modern survey reflects the enduring rural character of the Alabama Black Belt, showing the transition from upland creek valleys like Little Barbour Cr to the reservoir's edge near Eufaula.
