About this map

Pine Apple sits at the northeastern corner of this South Alabama landscape, where the boundary between Wilcox and Monroe Counties divides a terrain of winding creeks and rural settlements. The map highlights the distribution of small communities like McWilliams, Rutthven, and Schuster, which are connected by a network of established local routes including Hopewell Rd and Burnsville Rd. Genealogical interest is anchored by several family-named and community burial sites, such as Pineview Cem and Beard Cem.

The hydrography of the region is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of the Sepulga River, with local landmarks like Pudding Swamp and Lake Jane marking the lower-lying areas. The presence of Fire Tower Rd suggests a landscape historically managed for timber and fire observation. This 2018 survey provides a contemporary view of these long-standing rural townships, preserving the locations of namesake features like Old Texas as they relate to the modern county road system.
