About this map

Patsaliga Creek meanders through this portion of Crenshaw County, defining a landscape of creek bottoms and rural bypasses. The small settlements of Leon and Mulberry serve as the primary hubs for this community, connected by a network of local roads such as Mulberry Rd and Leon Tower Rd. Genealogists will find significant local history at Leon Cemetery, Friendship Cemetery, and Saint Lukes Cemetery, which are scattered among the agricultural fields and timber stands.

The presence of Merrill Mill near the crossing of Merrill Creek points to the area's historical reliance on water-powered industry. Distinctive terrain features like Mayberry Gully and numerous named tributaries, including Hornet Creek and Sucker Creek, illustrate the complex drainage system feeding into the larger river basin. Notable infrastructure like Owens Bridge provides critical crossings in an area otherwise dominated by the natural curves of the creek network.
