About this map

Oak Bowery and the surrounding rural landscape of Chambers County are defined by a network of creeks and small family-named settlements. The area around Moorefield is marked by a series of agricultural and water-management features, including Dempsey Dam and the J H Hines Lake to the north. This 2011 survey reveals a territory where local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds, such as Antioch Cemetery, Sturkie Cemetery, and Boyds Cemetery.

Transport through this part of Alabama relies on a grid of county roads that connect outlying communities like Sturkie, Boyds, and Liberty Crossroads. Waterways such as Little Chatahospee Creek, Snapper Creek, and Boyds Creek snake through the terrain, feeding into larger reservoirs like Edgar Lake and Floyds Lake. The map captures a snapshot of a late-20th-century southern landscape where small-scale hydrology and traditional crossroads settlements remain the primary geographic anchors.
