2011 Map of Land

About this map

West Butler and the namesake settlement of Land anchor this Choctaw County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges and peaks. In the southeastern portion of the map, Butler Mountain Lookout Tower stands near Red Springs, marking one of the area's highest vantage points. The hydrology is dominated by a complex network of creeks, including Bogueloosa Creek, Sikes Creek, and Wahalak Creek, which drain the varied elevations of Sickle Ridge and Betty Gap Mountain. Local genealogy and land use are traced through several scattered burial grounds such as Scott Cemetery, Ebenezer Cemetery, and Providence Cemetery. The road network, including Scott Mountain Rd and Land Rd, reflects the rural development patterns of the early twenty-first century, connecting these small communities across the wooded hills and creek branches of southwestern Alabama.
