1973 Map of Howe

About this map

The intricate drainage network of the North Fork Cowikee Creek, Middle Fork Cowikee Creek, and South Fork Cowikee Creek dominates this landscape along the Russell Co Barbour Co line. Established settlements like Glenville, Hawkinsville, and Howe are connected by rural roads that weave through terrain dotted with family-named landmarks and rural congregations. The southeastern corner of the map reveals the influence of the Walter F George Reservoir and the protected lands of the Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge, marking a shift from agricultural and creek-bottom lands to a significant water resource. Local history is deeply embedded in the numerous small churches and burial grounds, including Tennell Chapel, Comer Chapel, and the Browder Cem, which serve as permanent markers of the community's ancestral footprint in eastern Alabama.
