About this map

Patsaliga Creek and its many tributaries, including Merrill Cr and Chinquapin Cr, dominate this section of the South Alabama landscape near the boundary of Crenshaw and Covington counties. The area is characterized by a network of rural settlements such as Leon, Mulberry, and Merrill Mill, which are connected by a web of local roads including Oakey Streak Rd and Mulberry Rd. Genealogists will find significance in several local burial grounds, specifically Leon Cem, Friendship Cem, and Saint Lukes Cem, which serve as primary markers of the area's established families.

The terrain transitions from the bottomlands of Patsaliga Creek to the distinct landform of Mayberry Gully. Notable infrastructure includes the Owens Bridge and the small portion of Dozier visible in the southeastern corner. The map documents the drainage patterns of several branches, such as Little Piney Woods Cr and Sucker Cr, illustrating the water-rich geography of this timber and agricultural region.
