About this map

The Choctawhatchee River and its numerous tributaries dominate this landscape in southeastern Alabama, where the river splits into the West Fork Choctawhatchee River and East Fork Choctawhatchee River. The local geography is defined by its water systems and the agricultural road network that connects small rural communities like Pinckard, Newton, and Plainview. Evidence of early industrial and transit history appears at Adams Mill and crossings such as Woodham Bridge.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds including Newton City Cemetery and New Hope Cemetery, alongside smaller settlements like Waterford and Mount Hebron. The hydrology of the area is particularly complex, with named features such as Killebrew Factory Creek, Prestons Mill Branch, and Soapstone Branch carving through the terrain. The southern portion of the sheet is marked by the course of the Little Choctawhatchee River, which is crossed by the William Grady Stembridge Bridge.
