2024 Map of Onycha

About this map

Onycha and the surrounding timberlands of the Conecuh National Forest define this corner of Covington County, where the Yellow River and its numerous tributaries carve a dense network of drainage through the landscape. The settlement patterns reflect a rural economy tied to the land, with small communities like Horn Hill and Green Bay connected by a web of county roads and river crossings. Genealogists will find significant detail in the placement of local burial grounds, including the Welcome the Way Cem and the Blue Springs Church Cem near the Blue Springs Church. The abundance of small water bodies such as Taylor Pond, Adams Pond, and Danley Park Lake suggests a terrain rich in both natural and managed water resources, while the presence of Mulberry Creek and Clear Creek indicates the importance of these waterways to the local topography and history.
