2020 Map of Opp West

About this map

The western outskirts of Opp and the rural communities of Covington County are captured here in a landscape defined by the upper reaches of the Yellow River. In this contemporary survey, the intricate drainage network of Lightwood Knot Creek and Cameron Creek carves through the undulating terrain, punctuated by family-named landmarks and long-established crossroads. The map documents numerous small settlements such as Harmony, Babbie, and Wiggins, alongside several community burial grounds including Bethel Cem, Henderson Cem, and Sweet Home Cem 32. These features, along with names like Oscar Pugh Rd and Sasser Br, offer valuable data for those tracing local family history in the Alabama wiregrass region. The transition from the urban grid of Opp to the scattered homesteads at Horn Hill and Opine illustrates the enduring rural character and the network of county roads that have connected these hamlets for generations.
