About this map

The town of Madrid and the surrounding agricultural lands of Houston County are captured here just north of the State Line. This southern Alabama landscape is defined by its small farming communities and the intricate drainage of the Chipola Cr and Double Bridges Cr systems. Historically significant crossroads like Merritts Crossroads and Garretts Crossroads anchor the rural road network, reflecting the settlement patterns that have persisted for generations.

Genealogists can find several local burial sites, including Rehobeth Cem and the Saint Phillips Cem, which serve as permanent records of the area's family histories. Water features like Singletarys Pond, Registers Pond, and the wetlands of Coopers Bay illustrate the low-lying terrain. The map also documents the transition from the town of Rehobeth in the north to the more dispersed settlements of Five Points and Big Creek further south.
