2011 Map of Millry South

About this map

The rural landscape of southwestern Alabama unfolds around the settlements of Loper, Barlow, and Yarbo, showing a region defined by its complex drainage network and isolated community centers. Small family-named landmarks like Nannie Chufa and several burial grounds, including Rocky Ridge Cemetery and Reynolds Cemetery, provide vital geographic markers for genealogists tracing lineage in this part of Washington County. The terrain is characterized by the confluence of numerous waterways such as Santa Bogue Creek, Pine Barren Creek, and the prongs of Taylors Creek, which converge as they flow toward the south and east. In the north, Emmit Wood Lake and the Washington County Public Lake Dam represent significant water management features. The road system, with routes like Dearman Fork Rd and Woodrow Reynolds Rd, reflects a pattern of rural development where infrastructure follows the contours of the timber-rich land.
