2014 Map of Pigeon Creek

About this map

Pigeon Creek and its many tributaries, including Hard Labor Creek and Persimmon Creek, define the landscape of this southern Alabama territory. Small settlements and points of historic interest are scattered along the rural road network, notably at Halso Mill and Sardis. For those researching local family history, the map provides precise locations for several rural burial grounds, including Mt Carmel Cemetery, Ebenezer Cemetery, and Shiloh Cemetery. The transport pattern is dominated by long-established routes like Al-106 and McKenzie Grade, which cut through the drainage basins of Hawkins Creek and Little Piney Woods Creek. The density of cemeteries relative to the few named settlements suggests a landscape of dispersed family farms and community hubs centered around these historic sites.
