About this map

Patsaliga Cr and its many tributaries, including Piney Woods Cr and Panther Cr, define the drainage of this Crenshaw County landscape. The settlement of Petrey serves as a local hub, situated near the headwaters of Dry Cr. This modern survey illustrates a rural interior where community life centers on established hamlets and crossroads like Thomas Crossroads and Joquin.

Genealogists will find a concentration of local history in the numerous burial grounds, such as Macedonia Cem, Chapel Hill Cem, and Stephens Cem. The boundary between Crenshaw Co and Pike Co runs through the eastern portion of the map, crossing over the Wingard Bridge. Significant landmarks like The Beaver Pond and Motes Hill offer clear points of reference for those tracing land ownership or family roots in this part of Alabama.
