About this map

West Butler and the western edge of Butler serve as the primary nodes of settlement in this part of Choctaw County. The landscape is defined by a dense network of ridges and drainage basins, with Sickle Ridge and Potato Ridge rising above winding waterways like Bogueloosa Creek and Wahalak Creek. Small rural communities are scattered throughout the hills, including Rock Springs and Red Springs, providing localized points of interest for those studying the area's social geography.

Genealogists will find valuable reference points in the scattered burial grounds, such as Scott Cem near Scott Mtn and Providence Cem to the northeast. The road network, including Scott Mountain Rd and Riderwood Dr, follows the natural contours of the land, illustrating the persistent influence of the terrain on local transit and development. These named features offer a detailed view of the rural Alabama interior during the early 21st century.
