About this map

Auburn and Opelika anchor the southern reaches of this landscape, where suburban expansion meets the creek valleys of eastern Alabama. The northern territory is characterized by older, smaller settlements such as Oak Bowery and Stonewall, reflecting the region’s earlier rural foundation. Water dominates the central terrain, notably at Sougahatchee Lake and the branching network of Sougahatchee Creek.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the quadrangle, from the Oak Bowery Cemetery in the north to the Garden Hill Cemetery and Rosemere Cemetery near the city centers. The map also records distinctive local landmarks like The Bottle and the village of Pepperell, while highlighting the modern infrastructure of the Robert Trent Jones Trail and National Village Parkway that now weaves through the historic drainage basins of Little Loblockee Creek.
