About this map

Rock Springs and West Butler anchor this detailed 2014 survey of the central Choctaw County interior, characterized by a series of prominent ridges and meandering creek systems. The terrain is defined by elevated features such as Sickle Ridge, Lingo Mtn, and Potato Ridge, while the drainage network includes Bogueloosa Cr and Wahalalak Cr. These natural corridors historically dictated the placement of early settlements and family burial grounds, including the Scott Cem near Scott Mtn and the Providence Cem on the eastern edge of the quadrangle.

Local transportation is represented by a dense network of county and forest roads like Riderwood Dr and Land Rd, which connect the small communities of Land and Red Springs. The inclusion of Lake Meadow and numerous small water bodies like Church Br and Hunnicut Cr provides a clear view of the local hydrology. This map is particularly valuable for genealogists tracing family names associated with these rural landmarks and crossroads in southwestern Alabama.
