About this map

The Pea River winds through this Coffee County landscape, serving as a primary drainage for numerous tributaries like Helms Mill Creek, Bucks Mill Creek, and Wises Mill Creek. In the early 21st century, the small settlements of Ino and Damascus anchor the rural road network, which is dotted with sites of significant genealogical interest. Numerous burial grounds are documented across the terrain, including Ino Cemetery, Bethlehem Cemetery, and Mount Gilled Cemetery.

Hydrological management is evident through features such as the Elba Dam near Shiloh Lake and the Ellis Wise Dam on Tight Eye Creek. The landscape transitions from the river bottomlands, characterized by Beaver Pond and Hays Creek, to the higher ground marked by the Damascus Lookout Tower. This survey documents a quiet period of rural Alabama life, where the placement of country churches and family-named cemeteries still reflects the original patterns of settlement along the county's many creeks and branches.
