About this map

Pine Apple and Awin anchor this rural landscape in Wilcox County, Alabama, where a network of family-named cemeteries and creek drainage systems defines the local geography. The Pine Apple Post Office serves as the primary landmark in the north, while the surrounding countryside is marked by several historical burial grounds, including the Jenkins Chapel Cemetery, Pine Flat Cemetery, and Solomon Cemetery. These sites, often situated near road junctions or high ground, reflect the long-standing settlement patterns of the region's early families.

Water plays a central role in the topography here, with Pine Barren Creek and Turkey Creek carving paths through the terrain. The presence of Brickyard Branch suggests former local industry, while smaller tributaries like Sturdivant Creek and Redicks Creek crisscross the southern portion of the quadrangle. The road network, including County Hwy-2 and S Shackleville Rd, connects these dispersed rural communities and family landmarks, providing a clear view of the area's development by the early 21st century.
