2018 Map of Parker Springs

About this map

Conecuh National Forest dominates the landscape of southern Escambia County in this late 2010s survey, where the small community of Parker Springs sits at a junction of rural roads. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the winding Conecuh River and numerous tributaries such as Wagon Body Br and Sweetwater Cr. Historically significant sites for genealogists include several family-named burial grounds like Sam McGowin Cem and the Mancil Cem, along with the Rock Creek Church Cem near the southern boundary. To the southwest, Leon Brooks Hines Lake provides a major water feature in a terrain otherwise characterized by sandy hills and small branches. The map also records early regional transportation routes like the Dixie Hwy, which runs through the northeastern corner, and unique landmarks such as Brackens Ditch.
