About this map

Glennville and Howe anchor this modern-day topographical study of eastern Alabama, where the landscape is defined by the branching tributaries of the Cowikee Creek system. The map reveals a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Browder Cem, Ivey Cem, and the Mount Gilead Cem, providing essential data for genealogical research in this portion of Barbour and Russell counties. These small cemeteries are often the only remaining physical markers of the family-farm clusters that once dotted the region.

Conservation efforts dominate the southern boundary of the map within the Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge. The terrain transitions from these protected wetlands near Eufaula to a network of winding country roads such as McGoo Flats Rd and Barbour Creek Rd. The presence of Tennell Chapel Cem near Howe highlights the area's continued connection to its local congregation history along the South Fork Cowikee Creek.
