About this map

Mount Andrew serves as a central point in this Barbour County landscape, where the rural road network converges near the Mount Andrew Cemetery. The terrain is defined by the high ground of Center Ridge and the winding course of the Pea River, which forms the western boundary of this quadrangle. A series of community junctions, including Garmon Crossroads, Bells Crossroads, and Greens Crossroads, suggest a settlement pattern rooted in small-scale agricultural commerce and local family connections.

Genealogists can find several notable burial sites including the Shiloh Cemetery and Center Ridge Cemetery. Water features like the Williams Millpond on Williams Mill Branch and the historic Cooks Ford Bridge site provide clues to the early mill and transport economy of the region. The map also traces numerous local drainages such as Stinking Creek, Hurricane Creek, and the aptly named Polecat Branch, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Alabama coastal plain.
