2011 Map of Nymph

About this map

Old Sparta and the namesake settlement of Nymph anchor this rural landscape in Conecuh County, Alabama. The area is defined by a dense network of country roads and numerous small family and community burial grounds, including the Sparta Cemetery, Sparta Hill Cemetery, and Greater Nazarene Cemetery. This 2011 survey reveals an environment shaped by water management, with several named ponds and dams such as McMillan Dam and Old Country Club Dam punctuating the terrain. The hydrology of the region is further characterized by the paths of Sandy Creek, Mill Creek, and Shipps Creek, which flow through the forested and agricultural tracts. Local place names like Jay Villa and Davison Cemetery provide essential markers for genealogists and local historians tracing the long-standing land divisions and community hubs of this part of southern Alabama.
